Sherwin Williams

Eclipse

SW 6166

Eclipse is a muted olive-gray with warm undertones and a subtle green cast, registering an LRV of 14 that limits its light reflectance considerably. This low LRV means it reads as a dark, grounded neutral and benefits from well-lit environments or use on accent walls and exterior trim. The green-gray character shifts slightly depending on light temperature, appearing more olive in warm light.

Eclipse coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Canvas Tan, Wool Skein, Alabaster, and Accessible Beige, where lighter warm neutrals provide essential contrast.

Eclipse in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
