What color is Sherwin Williams Touch of Grey?
Sherwin Williams Touch of Grey SW 9549 is a light, softened gray with a subtle beige cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its low saturation gives walls a quiet, lightly weathered look, especially alongside white trim and natural oak. In bright daylight, this shade can appear close to a pale neutral gray, while warmer evening lighting may draw out its gentle taupe-beige side. Touch of Grey is well suited to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan areas where a noticeable but restrained wall color is wanted. Pair it with creamy whites, charcoal accents, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, or warm wood for a grounded, uncomplicated palette.

LRV of Touch of Grey
Touch of Grey has an LRV of 62.35% 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 62.35%, 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.
