What color is Sherwin Williams Smooth Stone?
Sherwin Williams Smooth Stone SW 9568 is a muted mid-tone gray-beige with a gently warm, stony cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overtly tan, while the subtle beige and taupe influence prevents it from feeling cold or blue. In bright natural light, Smooth Stone can appear like a soft weathered gray; under warmer bulbs, its earthy undertones become more noticeable. It suits living room walls, bedrooms, hallways, or painted built-ins where a grounded neutral is wanted without the starkness of a pale gray. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, warm wood, aged brass, and natural linen for a layered, material-focused look.

LRV of Smooth Stone
Smooth Stone has an LRV of 36.6% 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 36.6%, 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.
