What color is Sherwin Williams Earl Grey?

Sherwin Williams Earl Grey SW 7660 is a muted medium gray with a faint green cast that keeps it from reading flat or steely. Its low saturation gives walls a quiet, softened appearance, while the mid-range depth provides more presence than a pale gray. In clear daylight, the subtle green undertone may be easier to notice; under warmer artificial light, this color can appear more neutral and slightly softened. Earl Grey suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and home offices where a grounded gray is wanted without a sharp blue cast. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, black metal details, or stone finishes that include gray and olive notes.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 31.82%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
