What color is Sherwin Williams Ironclad?
Sherwin Williams Ironclad SW 9570 is a deep, muted charcoal gray with an earthy brown cast that keeps it from reading stark or blue. Its low-saturation finish gives walls a grounded, substantial look, especially in studies, dining rooms, and entryways. In cooler daylight, Ironclad can appear more like softened graphite, while warm lamps tend to bring forward its brown-gray undertone. Use it on cabinetry, interior doors, or an exterior trim detail when a near-black effect would feel too severe. It pairs naturally with warm white, weathered oak, aged brass, black metal, and stone in beige or charcoal tones.

LRV of Ironclad
Ironclad has an LRV of 10.88% 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 10.88%, 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.
