What color is Sherwin Williams Network Gray?
Sherwin Williams Network Gray SW 7073 is a light-to-mid gray with a distinctly cool cast, shaped by subtle blue-gray undertones. Its #a0a5a7 color value keeps it clean and muted rather than dark or heavy, making it a practical option for larger wall areas. In bright daylight, Network Gray can appear airy and softly blue-leaning, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its more neutral gray side. It suits bedrooms, home offices, and contemporary living rooms, especially alongside crisp white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, brushed nickel, and matte black hardware. Use this shade on walls or exterior siding when a cool, restrained gray is preferred over a warmer greige.
LRV of Network Gray
Network Gray has an LRV of 37.27% 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 37.27%, 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.
