What color is Sherwin Williams Windsor Greige?
Sherwin Williams Windsor Greige SW 7528 is a muted, mid-light greige with a clear beige cast and soft tan undertones. Its #c4b49c color value gives it more warmth than a typical gray, while the restrained saturation keeps it from looking yellow or overly brown. In bright daylight, this shade can appear like a pale, sandy neutral; under warmer lamps, its beige side becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan walls where a gentle neutral backdrop is wanted. Pair Windsor Greige with creamy off-whites, natural oak, linen upholstery, black metal details, or deeper charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Windsor Greige
Windsor Greige has an LRV of 46.73% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 46.73%, 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.
