What color is Sherwin Williams Fashionable Gray?
Sherwin Williams Fashionable Gray SW 6275 is a light-to-mid gray with a faint warm cast that keeps it from reading icy or blue. Its muted, low-saturation appearance gives walls a soft gray presence without making a room feel heavy. In bright daylight, Fashionable Gray can appear clean and nearly neutral, while warmer indoor lighting may bring out its subtle rosy-taupe hint. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and cabinetry paired with warm white trim, natural oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. Use this shade where you want a restrained neutral that still has a little softness against crisp white details.

LRV of Fashionable Gray
Fashionable Gray has an LRV of 48.41% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 48.41%, 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.
