What color is Sherwin Williams Spalding Gray?
Sherwin Williams Spalding Gray SW 6074 is a muted mid-tone gray with a noticeable warm taupe cast. Its brown-beige undertone keeps it from reading icy, while the softened, low-saturation finish gives walls a grounded, slightly weathered look. In bright daylight, Spalding Gray can appear lighter and more neutral; under warm lamps, its earthy warmth becomes more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas, especially alongside off-white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, or charcoal accents. This shade also has enough depth for cabinetry or an exterior accent when paired with lighter surrounding materials.

Spalding Gray is a midtone, very muted caramel tan. The HEX sample has a subtle orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Spalding Gray
Spalding Gray has an LRV of 22.12% 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 22.12%, 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.
