What color is Sherwin Williams Rock Bottom?

Sherwin Williams Rock Bottom SW 7062 is a deep, muted charcoal with a noticeable green cast that keeps it from reading as plain gray. Its low-saturation finish feels earthy and grounded, with the green undertone becoming more apparent in daylight or beside crisp white trim. In dimmer rooms, Rock Bottom can look nearly black while still retaining a softened, organic quality. It has enough depth for kitchen cabinetry, a study, exterior siding, or a single accent wall in a larger room. Pair it with warm off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, stone, and soft clay tones to bring out its subtle warmth.

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 7.04%, 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.
