What color is Sherwin Williams Mount Etna?
Sherwin Williams Mount Etna SW 7625 is a deep blue-gray with a distinctly cool, charcoal-like cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than brightly blue, giving walls a dense, architectural presence. In bright daylight, the muted blue undertone is easier to notice; under warm evening lighting, Mount Etna can read closer to a softened dark charcoal. It suits a study, dining room, powder room, or exterior trim where a darker finish adds definition without appearing black. Pair it with warm white paint, pale oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, or light gray stone to bring out its restrained blue-gray character.

What are Sherwin Williams Mount Etna undertones?
Mount Etna reads as a deep, very muted blue with a low-saturation, charcoal-like character. In the supplied digital sample, the blue direction is clear, while a slight greenish bias is subtle enough to be hard to separate from the overall dark, softened look. Sherwin-Williams identifies it as a blue paint color, which matches its visible main color family. Warm artificial light may make its dark, muted quality feel a little less blue, while cool daylight can help the blue direction show more clearly.

LRV of Mount Etna
Mount Etna has an LRV of 6.17% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 6.17%, 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.
