This post is all about the best Sherwin Williams gray paint colors.
When it comes to choosing the perfect paint color for your home, gray has become a go-to favorite for many. It’s versatile, timeless, and can create a cozy atmosphere or a sleek, modern vibe. With so many shades to choose from, finding the right gray can feel overwhelming. That’s where this list comes in. I hand-selected ten stunning gray paint colors that will transform your space!
When determining the depth of color you want, you’ll have to consider the LRV or light reflective value. The LRV is measured on a scale of 0 to 100 with 0 being a true black and 100 being a true white. The closer the LRV is to 0 the more light is absorbed and the closer to 100 the more light is reflected. This is important when considering how light or dark a paint color will appear. All the LRV values will be listed with each color.
Paint samples are also an important factor when choosing the right color. All colors have undertones that can change in different lighting, so remember it is always best to swatch colors in the rooms you will be painting.
