What color is Sherwin Williams Guild Grey?
Sherwin Williams Guild Grey SW 9561 is a light, softened gray with a subtle warm cast that keeps it from reading cold or blue. Its low saturation gives it a quiet, nearly neutral appearance, with a gentle beige-leaning undertone visible beside crisp white trim. In bright daylight, Guild Grey can look like a pale greige-gray, while lower light brings out its slightly deeper, earthier side. It suits living room walls, bedrooms, and open hallways where a light neutral is needed without the starkness of pure white. Pair it with warm white, natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, or charcoal details for contrast.

LRV of Guild Grey
Guild Grey has an LRV of 63.43% 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 63.43%, 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.
