What color is Sherwin Williams Foggy Day?
Sherwin Williams Foggy Day SW 6235 is a mid-depth gray with a cool, blue-leaning cast visible in its #727c7f color value. It reads as muted rather than sharply saturated, giving walls a grounded slate-gray appearance without becoming nearly black. Daylight can bring out its subtle blue-gray character, while warmer evening lighting may make it look more neutral and softened. Use it in a home office, bedroom, or on exterior siding when you want noticeable depth without a heavy charcoal effect. Crisp white trim, pale gray stone, black metal, and light natural wood provide clean contrast with this color.

LRV of Foggy Day
Foggy Day has an LRV of 19.55% 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 19.55%, 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.
