What color is Sherwin Williams Midnight?
Sherwin Williams Midnight SW 6264 is a deep, muted charcoal gray with a clear violet cast that keeps it from reading flat or black. Its low-saturation finish gives the color a softened, smoke-like appearance, while the overall effect remains cool-leaning and substantial. In brighter daylight, the purple-gray undertone is easier to notice; under warm evening lighting, Midnight can appear closer to a softened dark charcoal. Use it on a study wall, bedroom cabinetry, or a dining room accent to create contrast without the hardness of a true black. Pair this shade with warm white trim, pale greige upholstery, light oak, aged brass, or matte black hardware.

LRV of Midnight
Midnight has an LRV of 10.32% 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 10.32%, 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.
