What color is Sherwin Williams Tin Lizzie?
Sherwin Williams Tin Lizzie SW 9163 is a medium-light gray with a subtle green cast that keeps it from reading flat or icy. Its low saturation gives walls a quiet, weathered-neutral appearance, while the slight green undertone may be easier to notice in bright natural light. In rooms with warm bulbs or creamy trim, Tin Lizzie can look softer and more grounded. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, offices, and exterior siding, especially alongside warm white, charcoal, black metal, pale oak, or aged brass. Use this shade on broad walls or cabinetry when you want a gray that has a little more natural character than a plain neutral.

LRV of Tin Lizzie
Tin Lizzie has an LRV of 29.76% 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 29.76%, 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.
