What color is Sherwin Williams Homburg Gray?

Sherwin Williams Homburg Gray SW 7622 is a deep, muted gray with a noticeable green cast that keeps it from reading flat or blue. Its medium-dark value gives walls a grounded look, while the low saturation makes the color feel restrained rather than dramatic. In bright daylight, the green-gray character is clearer; under warmer lamps, it can appear deeper and more charcoal-like. Use Homburg Gray on cabinetry, a study wall, exterior trim, or an accent wall where a darker finish is wanted without a harsh black effect. It pairs well with warm white, pale wood, aged brass, black hardware, and stone finishes with soft gray or olive notes.

LRV of Homburg Gray

Homburg Gray has an LRV of 14.69% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 14.69%, 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.
