What color is Sherwin Williams Gray Matters?
Sherwin Williams Gray Matters SW 7066 is a medium-depth gray with a muted, slightly warm cast that keeps it from reading stark or blue. It can look like weathered stone on broad walls, especially beside natural oak, linen upholstery, and creamy warm whites. In north-facing rooms, Gray Matters may appear more neutral and a little cooler, while warm lamps and late-day sun bring out its softer taupe undertones. It has enough weight for a study, dining room, or kitchen cabinetry, and it also makes a grounded exterior trim color against brick or pale siding. Pair it with walnut, aged brass, charcoal, deep green, or terracotta for a room that feels layered rather than overly gray.

LRV of Gray Matters
Gray Matters has an LRV of 37.18% 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 37.18%, 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.
