What color is Sherwin Williams Steely Gray?
Sherwin Williams Steely Gray SW 7664 is a medium-light gray with a distinct cool blue cast, reflected in its softly muted #90979b color value. It has enough depth to define a room without reading as dark, making it a practical option for bedroom walls, home offices, or covered exterior siding. In bright natural light, the blue-gray character is clearer, while warmer indoor bulbs can make it appear a little softer and more neutral. Pair Steely Gray with crisp white trim, charcoal details, pale oak, brushed nickel, or black metal for a clean, grounded palette.

LRV of Steely Gray
Steely Gray has an LRV of 30.36% 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 30.36%, 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.
