What color is Sherwin Williams Gale Force?
Sherwin Williams Gale Force SW 7605 is a deep, muted blue-gray with a cool cast and a subtle slate-like green influence. Its low-light depth gives it a grounded look on walls, while daylight brings out more of its blue character. Gale Force can make a powder room, dining room, or study feel more defined without reading as black. It is especially effective on cabinetry or built-ins paired with warm white walls, pale oak, brushed brass, and natural linen. For an exterior accent, this shade has enough weight for shutters or a front door against light stone, cream siding, or soft gray trim.

LRV of Gale Force
Gale Force has an LRV of 5.58% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 5.58%, 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.
