What color is Sherwin Williams Lauriston Stone?

Sherwin Williams Lauriston Stone SW 9593 is a muted mid-tone gray with a noticeable earthy, olive-beige cast. Its softened, low-saturation character keeps it from reading as a flat neutral, giving walls a grounded look without becoming overly dark. In bright daylight, the gray aspect is more apparent, while lower or warmer lighting can bring forward its khaki-brown undertone. Lauriston Stone suits living rooms, entryways, and cabinetry where a natural, restrained neutral is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered wood, black metal, and warm stone finishes for a cohesive palette.

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.

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 21.98%, 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.
