What color is Sherwin Williams Studio Clay?
Sherwin Williams Studio Clay SW 9172 is a muted, medium-depth gray-beige with a softly earthy cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded and understated, while the subtle warmth prevents it from reading as a cold concrete gray. In brighter light, Studio Clay can appear lighter and more beige; in dimmer rooms, its gray undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits living room walls, bedrooms, and cabinetry where a quiet neutral with more presence than off-white is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, charcoal accents, weathered oak, linen, and brushed brass for a natural, layered interior.

LRV of Studio Clay
Studio Clay has an LRV of 27.13% 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 27.13%, 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.
