What color is Sherwin Williams Quarry Stone?
Sherwin Williams Quarry Stone SW 9603 is a muted, medium-depth gray-beige with a noticeably earthy cast. Its #978e7f color value reads as a softened taupe, carrying gentle warmth without turning creamy or golden. In bright daylight, Quarry Stone can appear more balanced and weathered gray, while lower or warmer lighting brings forward its beige-brown undertone. It suits living room walls, entryways, and exterior siding where a grounded neutral is wanted, and it also has enough depth for cabinetry or built-in shelving. Pair this shade with off-white trim, charcoal details, aged brass, natural oak, linen, and stone finishes for a layered, material-focused look.

LRV of Quarry Stone
Quarry Stone has an LRV of 27.34% 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 27.34%, 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.
