What color is Sherwin Williams Summit Gray?
Sherwin Williams Summit Gray SW 7669 is a mid-tone gray with a softly muted, near-neutral appearance. Its slight warmth keeps it from reading icy, while the low saturation gives it a calm, grounded look on broad wall surfaces. In bright daylight, Summit Gray can appear lighter and more straightforwardly gray; under warmer bulbs, its subtle beige cast may become more noticeable. It suits living rooms, hallways, bedrooms, and exterior siding where a substantial neutral is needed without going too dark. Pair it with crisp white trim, charcoal details, natural oak, black metal, or warm stone for a layered, restrained palette.

LRV of Summit Gray
Summit Gray has an LRV of 29.56% 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 29.56%, 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.
