What color is Sherwin Williams Slate Tile?

Sherwin Williams Slate Tile SW 7624 is a deep, smoky blue-gray that carries a faint green cast, much like weathered slate after rain. It reads cool and grounded rather than sharply navy, with enough gray to keep it from feeling overly saturated on large walls. In north-facing rooms, this shade can look particularly inky and moody, while warm lamps pull out its softer charcoal side. Use it on dining room walls, a study, built-in cabinetry, or exterior shutters where its depth has room to register. Warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, tan linen, and terracotta accents give Slate Tile some welcome contrast.

What are Sherwin Williams Slate Tile undertones?

Slate Tile is a midtone, heavily muted blue-gray with a low-saturation, softened overall look. The digital sample reads primarily blue, with a subtle green-leaning bias that may show more or less depending on surrounding colors and lighting. Sherwin-Williams classifies it as a Neutral, which fits its restrained blue-gray appearance rather than identifying a specific undertone. Warm artificial light can make it appear a little grayer or softer, while cool daylight may bring its blue character forward.

LRV of Slate Tile

Slate Tile has an LRV of 13% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13%, 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.
