What color is Sherwin Williams Online?
Sherwin Williams Online SW 7072 is a light-to-medium gray with a cool, softly blue-cast appearance. Its low saturation keeps it from reading strongly colorful, though the faint blue-green edge can become more noticeable in clear daylight. In rooms with warm artificial lighting, Online often looks more neutral and slightly softer. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices, and open living areas where a clean gray is wanted without a stark white effect. Pair it with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, pale wood, brushed nickel, or black metal for a grounded, contemporary contrast.

LRV of Online

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 45.49%, 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.
