What color is Sherwin Williams Gray Screen?
Sherwin Williams Gray Screen SW 7071 is a pale, low-saturation gray with a faint cool blue-green cast visible in its #c6caca color value. It reads clean and airy on broad walls, especially in bedrooms, bathrooms, or open living areas where a light neutral is wanted without the warmth of beige. Daylight can bring out its soft blue-gray side, while warmer evening bulbs may make it appear quieter and more neutral. Gray Screen pairs well with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, brushed nickel, pale oak, and blue-toned textiles. Its light depth also makes it a practical option for cabinetry or exterior details when a subtle cool gray is preferred.

LRV of Gray Screen
Gray Screen has an LRV of 58.55% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 58.55%, 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.
