What color is Sherwin Williams Night Owl?
Sherwin Williams Night Owl SW 7061 is a muted green-gray with a soft, weathered cast. Its #63655f color value reads as medium-dark and low in saturation, keeping the green presence restrained rather than vivid. In bright daylight, it can appear more like a softened charcoal gray, while lower or warmer light brings out its olive-leaning green undertone. Night Owl suits studies, mudrooms, dining rooms, and exterior trim where a grounded neutral is wanted without using plain gray. Pair it with warm white paint, natural oak, aged brass, blackened metal, and stone finishes with taupe or gray veining.

What are Sherwin Williams Night Owl undertones?
Night Owl reads as a midtone, low-saturation neutral with a muted gray-green cast in the supplied digital sample. Its color direction is subtle, so any green or yellow bias is best viewed as a slight relative lean rather than a definite undertone. Sherwin-Williams classifies Night Owl as a Neutral, which fits its overall restrained, near-neutral appearance rather than pointing to a specific undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out its muted yellow-green lean a little more, while cool daylight can make it appear grayer or slightly cooler.

LRV of Night Owl
Night Owl has an LRV of 12.82% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 12.82%, 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.
