What color is Sherwin Williams Tinsmith?
Sherwin Williams Tinsmith SW 7657 is a light, muted gray with a faint green cast that keeps it from reading flat or icy. Its low saturation gives walls a soft, brushed-metal look, while the pale value helps smaller rooms feel open without turning stark white. In bright daylight, Tinsmith appears clean and lightly cool; under warmer interior bulbs, its gray base can look gentler and slightly softer. Use it on bedroom, hallway, or living room walls with crisp white trim, weathered oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. It can also suit cabinetry when paired with warm stone counters or natural wood to offset its subtle coolness.

LRV of Tinsmith
Tinsmith has an LRV of 57.14% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 57.14%, 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.
