What color is Sherwin Williams Evening Shadow?
Sherwin Williams Evening Shadow SW 7662 is a light, low-saturation gray with a faint cool blue cast. Its pale value keeps rooms feeling open, while the restrained color prevents it from reading as noticeably blue on most walls. In bright daylight, Evening Shadow appears close to a clean silvery gray; in dimmer light, its cool undertone becomes a little more apparent. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and airy living spaces, especially alongside crisp white trim, soft charcoal accents, pale oak, or brushed nickel. Use this shade across full walls for a quiet neutral backdrop or on cabinetry where a subtle cool-gray finish is wanted.

What are Sherwin Williams Evening Shadow undertones?
Evening Shadow is a light, near-neutral light gray. Its chroma is so low that assigning a specific hue-based undertone would be misleading. Because it is close to neutral, nearby surfaces and the color of the light can noticeably change how warm or cool it appears.

LRV of Evening Shadow
Evening Shadow has an LRV of 60% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 60%, 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.
