Sherwin Williams

Gateway Gray

SW 7644

Gateway Gray is a muted mid-tone gray carrying warm taupe influences, with an LRV of 41 that positions it comfortably in the medium-light range. It reads as a balanced neutral on walls in living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms without skewing overtly warm or cool under most lighting conditions. Shoji White and Pure White work as clean ceiling or trim pairings, while Anew Gray functions as a tonal companion on adjacent surfaces.

Alabaster provides a softer trim alternative that maintains the warm undertone consistency throughout a space.
