What color is Sherwin Williams Unusual Gray?
Sherwin Williams Unusual Gray SW 7059 is a light, muted gray with a subtle green cast visible beneath its soft neutral surface. Its medium-light value keeps it from reading stark on broad walls, while the low saturation gives it a gently weathered, grounded appearance. In bright natural light, this shade can appear cleaner and more balanced; under warmer indoor lighting, its green-gray undertone may become more noticeable. Use it in a kitchen, bedroom, or living area with warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed nickel or black metal details. Unusual Gray also suits cabinetry or exterior siding when paired with charcoal accents and natural stone.

LRV of Unusual Gray
Unusual Gray has an LRV of 38.07% 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 38.07%, 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.
