What color is Sherwin Williams Stunning Shade?
Sherwin Williams Stunning Shade SW 7082 is a deep, muted charcoal gray with a subtle violet cast that keeps it from reading flat or purely black. Its low saturation gives it a softened, smoky appearance, with the purple undertone becoming a little more noticeable in cooler daylight. In warmer lighting, Stunning Shade can look closer to a dark, weathered gray. It has enough depth for a dramatic dining room, study, or bedroom wall, and also makes a strong choice for cabinetry or an interior accent surface. Pair it with warm white trim, pale mushroom beige, natural oak, aged brass, or black metal for a grounded finish.

LRV of Stunning Shade
Stunning Shade has an LRV of 12.21% 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 12.21%, 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.
