What color is Sherwin Williams Link Gray?

Sherwin Williams Link Gray SW 6200 is a muted medium gray with a noticeable earthy cast, leaning softly toward olive-khaki rather than blue. Its low-saturation appearance keeps it grounded and understated, making it especially effective for walls in studies, living rooms, or entryways where a more natural gray is wanted. In bright daylight, Link Gray can show more of its warm, weathered green-beige undertone, while lower light brings out its deeper gray side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, black metal, warm oak, aged brass, and stone finishes for a layered, material-focused look. It also has enough depth to suit cabinetry or an exterior trim detail when surrounded by lighter neutral surfaces.

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 20.58%, 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.
