What color is Sherwin Williams Eclipse?
Sherwin Williams Eclipse SW 6166 is a muted, mid-depth gray with an olive-brown cast that keeps it from reading cold or blue. Its softened, low-saturation character gives walls a grounded look, especially in studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, or rooms with natural wood furniture. In bright daylight, Eclipse can appear more like a weathered olive-gray, while lower light brings out its deeper khaki and brown undertones. Pair it with warm off-whites, blackened metal, aged brass, oatmeal linen, and walnut or oak finishes. It also has enough depth for cabinetry or a feature wall when a nearly neutral color with more substance than standard gray is wanted.
LRV of Eclipse
Eclipse has an LRV of 13.59% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?
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 13.59%, 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.
