What color is Sherwin Williams Pavestone?
Sherwin Williams Pavestone SW 7642 is a muted mid-tone greige with a soft brown cast and restrained gray undertones. Its low-saturation color keeps it grounded rather than creamy, giving walls a quiet, weathered-stone appearance. In warm daylight or incandescent light, Pavestone reads a little more beige and taupe; cooler light brings its gray side forward. It suits living rooms, hallways, and exterior siding where a medium neutral can add definition without looking dark. Pair it with off-white trim, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, or slate-toned textiles.

What are Sherwin Williams Pavestone undertones?
Pavestone is a mid-light, very muted muted beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Pavestone
Pavestone has an LRV of 32.35% 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 32.35%, 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.
