What color is Sherwin Williams Mountain Fig?
Sherwin Williams Mountain Fig SW 9690 is a deep, muted blue-gray with a charcoal-like weight and a distinctly cool cast. Its low-light value gives walls a grounded, enclosed look, while the blue becomes easier to notice in daylight or under clear white lighting. Mountain Fig suits studies, dining rooms, bedrooms, and powder rooms where a dark wall color can feel deliberate rather than decorative. Pair it with soft off-white trim, pale gray stone, brushed nickel, black metal, or natural oak to bring out its slate-blue character. It also has enough depth for cabinetry, built-ins, or an exterior front door when a nearly black neutral would feel too stark.
LRV of Mountain Fig
Mountain Fig has an LRV of 4.49% 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 4.49%, 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.
