What color is Sherwin Williams Mountain Pass?

Sherwin Williams Mountain Pass SW 9655 is a deep, muted blue-gray with a distinctly cool cast. Its low-saturation color keeps the blue from feeling bright, giving walls a grounded, slightly smoky appearance instead. In daylight, Mountain Pass can read as a balanced charcoal-leaning gray with blue present underneath, while warmer artificial light may bring out its softer gray side. It has enough depth for a study, dining room, or powder room, and it also makes a strong choice for cabinetry or an exterior front door. Pair it with crisp off-whites, pale weathered wood, black metal, or warm leather to give its cool tone some contrast.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 13.54%, 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.
