What color is Sherwin Williams Morris Room Grey?
Sherwin Williams Morris Room Grey SW 0037 is a muted mid-tone gray with a clear warm beige cast. Its softened, slightly rosy taupe character keeps it from reading cold, especially beside crisp white trim. In bright daylight, the color can appear like a light weathered stone, while lower or warmer light brings forward its beige-brown undertone. Morris Room Grey suits living room walls, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle neutral is needed without the starkness of a true gray. Pair it with creamy whites, aged brass, natural oak, linen upholstery, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Morris Room Grey
Morris Room Grey has an LRV of 36.59% 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 36.59%, 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.
