What color is Sherwin Williams Night Out?

Sherwin Williams Night Out SW 9560 is a medium-depth charcoal gray with a noticeable cool blue cast. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading as sharply blue, so it can feel like a grounded slate neutral on broad walls. In bright daylight, the blue-gray character is more apparent, while warm evening lighting can make it appear softer and closer to a classic dark gray. Night Out suits studies, dining rooms, powder rooms, and exterior trim where a substantial color is wanted without going fully black. Pair it with soft white, pale gray, natural oak, brushed nickel, or blackened metal for a clean, layered finish.

LRV of Night Out

Night Out has an LRV of 14.12% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?

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 14.12%, 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.
