What color is Sherwin Williams Hidden Trail?
Sherwin Williams Hidden Trail SW 9525 is a muted, medium-dark gray with an earthy olive-brown cast. Its low-saturation character keeps it grounded rather than overtly green, giving walls a quiet, weathered look. In bright natural light, the gray and olive notes are easier to see, while warmer evening lighting can pull it toward a softer brownish khaki. Hidden Trail suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior trim where a deeper neutral is wanted without the starkness of black or charcoal. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm wood, aged brass, stone, and matte black details for a collected, natural-material palette.

What are Sherwin Williams Hidden Trail undertones?
Hidden Trail is a deep, very muted olive-brown. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Hidden Trail
Hidden Trail has an LRV of 10.47% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 10.47%, 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.
