What color is Sherwin Williams Special Gray?
Sherwin Williams Special Gray SW 6277 is a medium-depth gray with a restrained violet cast that keeps it from reading flat or purely charcoal. Its low saturation gives it a soft, weathered appearance, while the slightly cool balance is most noticeable in daylight and north-facing rooms. Under warmer lamps, the purple-gray nuance can feel a little gentler and more neutral. Use it on bedroom, office, or living-room walls with crisp white trim, pale oak, charcoal textiles, and brushed nickel or black metal details. It also has enough depth for cabinetry or an accent wall when paired with lighter gray-beige finishes and natural stone.

LRV of Special Gray
Special Gray has an LRV of 19.24% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 19.24%, 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.
