What color is Sherwin Williams Software?
Sherwin Williams Software SW 7074 is a medium-depth gray with a cool, lightly blue cast visible in balanced daylight. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading sharply icy, though north-facing rooms may bring out the cooler side of this shade. Software suits modern living room walls, home offices, or exterior siding where a substantial gray is wanted without the heaviness of charcoal. Pair it with crisp white trim, black metal fixtures, pale oak, or concrete for a clean, architectural look. In warmer artificial light, this color can appear more neutral and softened, especially alongside warm wood floors or brass details.

LRV of Software
Software has an LRV of 22.68% 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 22.68%, 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.
