Sherwin Williams

Evening Shadow

SW 7662

Evening Shadow is a cool, muted gray carrying subtle blue undertones that keep it from reading as flat or sterile on walls. With an LRV of 60, it reflects a moderate amount of light, making it functional in living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms without appearing too dark or too washed out. It coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Passive, On the Rocks, Agreeable Gray, Ice Cube, and Alabaster, allowing for layered neutral schemes that maintain a cohesive cool-toned palette throughout adjoining spaces.

Evening Shadow 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.
