What color is Sherwin Williams Settlement?

Sherwin Williams Settlement SW 9594 is a muted mid-tone gray with a noticeable brown-taupe cast. Its softened, low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading stark, while the slightly earthy undertone gives walls more warmth than a typical charcoal or cool gray. In bright daylight, Settlement can look like a balanced weathered gray; under warm lamps, its brown and khaki notes become more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and studies where a grounded neutral is wanted without going very dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, matte black details, aged brass, oak, linen, and natural stone for a layered interior.

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 19.25%, 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.
