What color is Sherwin Williams Gris?
Sherwin Williams Gris SW 7659 is a light-to-mid gray with a softly muted, slightly cool appearance. Its balanced mix of gray and faint green-blue influence keeps it from reading flat or stark on broad walls. In daylight, Gris can look clean and mineral-like, while warmer evening lighting may bring out a gentler, softened gray. It suits kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas where white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal details are part of the palette. Use this shade on walls or cabinetry with creamy off-whites and natural stone to keep the overall look grounded rather than icy.

LRV of Gris
Gris has an LRV of 39.4% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 39.4%, 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.
