What color is Sherwin Williams Renwick Heather?
Sherwin Williams Renwick Heather SW 2818 is a muted mid-tone gray with a noticeable dusty rose-brown cast. Its low saturation keeps it grounded and neutral-looking, while the slight red undertone prevents it from reading cold or steely. In daylight, Renwick Heather can appear like a softened weathered gray; warmer lamps tend to bring out its subtle mauve and taupe notes. It suits living-room walls, bedrooms, and dining spaces where a deeper neutral is wanted without using charcoal. Pair it with creamy off-whites, aged brass, walnut wood, linen upholstery, and dark brown or black accents for contrast.

LRV of Renwick Heather
Renwick Heather has an LRV of 21.48% 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 21.48%, 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.
