What color is Sherwin Williams Functional Gray?
Sherwin Williams Functional Gray SW 7024 is a muted, medium-light gray with a noticeable warm taupe cast. Its softened brown-beige undertone keeps it from reading stark or blue, especially beside crisp white trim. In bright natural light, this color can appear lighter and more neutral, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its earthy gray-beige character. Functional Gray is well suited to living room, hallway, and bedroom walls, and it can also give cabinetry a quietly grounded finish. Pair it with creamy whites, charcoal accents, natural oak, aged brass, and stone or linen textures for a cohesive interior palette.
LRV of Functional Gray
Functional Gray has an LRV of 37.01% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 37.01%, 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.
