What color is Sherwin Williams Gauntlet Gray?
Sherwin Williams Gauntlet Gray SW 7019 is a muted, medium-dark gray with a noticeable warm cast that keeps it from reading cold or blue. Its low-saturation mix of gray and soft brown makes it substantial on walls without looking nearly black. In bright natural light, Gauntlet Gray can appear like a softened charcoal-gray, while evening light tends to bring out its warmer, earthier side. It suits living rooms, dining rooms, exterior siding, and built-in cabinetry, especially when paired with creamy off-whites, natural oak, black metal, or warm stone. Use this shade where you want clear contrast with pale trim but a less stark effect than a deep charcoal.

What are Sherwin Williams Gauntlet Gray undertones?
Gauntlet Gray reads as a midtone, low-saturation gray with a near-neutral overall character and a muted brownish cast. In the supplied digital sample, the color leans slightly toward orange-yellow, but that bias is subtle enough that it is not a reliable standalone undertone claim. Sherwin-Williams classifies SW 7019 as a Neutral, which fits its visibly balanced gray family rather than pointing to a strong warm or cool direction. Warm artificial light may bring out its faint brownish warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear more straightforwardly gray.

LRV of Gauntlet Gray
Gauntlet Gray has an LRV of 17.43% 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 17.43%, 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.
