What color is Sherwin Williams Roycroft Pewter?

Sherwin Williams Roycroft Pewter SW 2848 is a medium-dark gray with a restrained green-blue cast that keeps it from reading flat or purely charcoal. Its low saturation gives walls and cabinetry a grounded, weathered appearance, especially alongside warm white trim or natural oak. In bright daylight, the subtle coolness is more noticeable; under warmer lamps, this shade can appear softer and slightly more neutral. Roycroft Pewter suits studies, dining rooms, exterior siding, and kitchen islands where a deeper color is wanted without going all the way to black. Pair it with aged brass, black metal, stone surfaces, and creamy off-whites for a material-rich contrast.

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 12.83%, 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.
