What color is Sherwin Williams Garret Gray?
Sherwin Williams Garret Gray SW 6075 is a medium-depth gray with a noticeable brown cast, giving it a grounded, softened appearance rather than a crisp cool-gray look. Its muted warmth can read a little taupe in warm artificial light, while daylight brings out its restrained gray character. Garret Gray is well suited to living room walls, dining rooms, and studies where a darker neutral is wanted without the sharpness of charcoal. Pair it with creamy off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, and charcoal or black details for contrast. On cabinetry or an accent wall, this shade adds weight and definition while still keeping the overall palette earthy.

What are Sherwin Williams Garret Gray undertones?
Garret Gray is a midtone, very muted earthy, slightly muddy brown. The HEX sample has a subtle orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Garret Gray
Garret Gray has an LRV of 14.55% 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 14.55%, 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.
