Sherwin Williams

Forestwood

SW 7730

Winter's Eve (Benjamin Moore, #40729C) is a deep, cool blue with subtle gray undertones that lend it a slightly muted, composed quality. At an LRV of 17.6, it sits firmly in the darker range, absorbing a significant amount of light and producing a strong sense of depth on walls. The gray cast keeps it from reading as overly saturated, allowing it to work alongside cooler neutrals such as Silver Gray or Wickham Gray, as well as clean whites like Simply White.

Pairing it with Balboa Mist or Kendall Charcoal rounds out a controlled, tonal scheme.

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.
