What color is Sherwin Williams Gray Clouds?
Sherwin Williams Gray Clouds SW 7658 is a light, muted gray with a subtle softened cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. At #b7b7b2, it has enough depth to show clearly on walls while still maintaining an airy, low-contrast look. The slight warmth visible in the color value can make it feel gentler beside bright white trim, natural oak, and linen upholstery. In cool daylight, Gray Clouds may appear more classically gray, while warmer artificial light can draw out its faint beige-leaning softness. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, and exterior siding where a quiet neutral is needed without the sharpness of a blue-gray. Pair it with creamy whites, charcoal accents, black hardware, or weathered wood for a grounded palette.

LRV of Gray Clouds
Gray Clouds has an LRV of 47.26% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 47.26%, 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.
