What color is Sherwin Williams Grayish?
Sherwin Williams Grayish SW 6001 is a light, low-saturation gray with a soft warm cast visible in its muted beige-pink undertone. It reads as a gentle neutral rather than a crisp blue-gray, especially in warm afternoon light or rooms with incandescent bulbs. In cooler daylight, Grayish can appear more plainly gray while retaining its slightly softened, almost putty-like quality. It suits living room, bedroom, and hallway walls where a pale neutral is wanted without the sharpness of pure white. Pair it with creamy whites, natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Grayish
Grayish has an LRV of 59.68% 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 59.68%, 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.
