Sherwin Williams

Connected Gray

SW 6165

Connected Gray from Sherwin-Williams is a muted green-gray at hex #898473, with an LRV of 23. This lower reflectance value positions it as a darker mid-tone that absorbs more light and reads as distinctly shaded rather than airy. The green undertone is subtle but present, giving the gray a slightly organic quality that separates it from cooler, blue-based grays.

It pairs cleanly with lighter neutrals like Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Pure White, which draw out its green cast through contrast. Analogous tones such as Sea Salt and Silvermist extend the muted palette, while Iron Ore provides a darker anchor.
