What color is Sherwin Williams Polished Concrete?
Sherwin Williams Polished Concrete SW 9167 is a muted mid-tone gray with a noticeable warm cast and a faint taupe-rose undertone. Its low-saturation finish keeps it from reading overly beige or starkly cool, giving walls a grounded, softly weathered appearance. In bright daylight, this color can look like a gentle warm gray, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its subtle dusty warmth. Polished Concrete suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and home offices where a medium-depth neutral is needed without the heaviness of charcoal. Pair it with creamy off-whites, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, or black metal details for a layered, material-focused interior.

LRV of Polished Concrete
Polished Concrete has an LRV of 31.62% 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 31.62%, 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.
