What color is Sherwin Williams Mink?
Sherwin Williams Mink SW 6004 is a mid-depth muted gray with a gentle warm, brown-rose cast visible in its #847b77 color value. It reads softer than a charcoal and less beige than many taupes, giving walls a grounded, low-contrast look. In bright daylight, Mink can appear like a weathered warm gray, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its subtle brown undertone. Use it in bedrooms, dining rooms, or studies where a darker neutral is wanted without an overly dramatic effect. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale wood, aged brass, linen upholstery, and matte black details for a layered, natural palette.
LRV of Mink
Mink has an LRV of 20.53% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 20.53%, 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.
