What color is Sherwin Williams Repose Gray?

Sherwin Williams Repose Gray SW 7015 is a light, muted gray with a soft beige cast visible in its #ccc9c0 color value. It reads warmer than a blue-gray, though its low saturation keeps it from looking overtly tan. In bright daylight, this shade can appear clean and pale; under warmer bulbs, its subtle greige side becomes more noticeable. Use it on living room, bedroom, or hallway walls where a gentle neutral backdrop is wanted without the starkness of a cool gray. It pairs naturally with white trim, light oak, linen upholstery, charcoal details, and matte black hardware.

What are Sherwin Williams Repose Gray undertones?

Repose Gray reads as a light, very muted neutral with a soft gray-beige cast rather than a strong, clearly colored gray. In the supplied digital sample, its slight bias leans yellow, which can make the gray appear a little warmer or less blue than some other pale grays, though the shift is subtle. Sherwin-Williams describes it as a Neutral, which fits its visibly low-saturation, near-neutral character rather than naming a specific undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its faint beige-yellow lean, while cool daylight can make it look cleaner and more conventionally gray.

LRV of Repose Gray

Repose Gray has an LRV of 58.22% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 58.22%, 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.
