Sherwin Williams

Gris

SW 7659

Gris is a cool neutral gray with green undertones, sitting at an LRV of 39 in the mid-range of the light-reflectance scale. The green cast is subtle, keeping the color from reading as stark or blue-toned, and it functions reliably in living rooms, bedrooms, and office spaces with moderate natural light. Under warm lighting the green influence recedes slightly, and the overall read remains balanced.

Gris coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Extra White, Alabaster, Urbane Bronze, Evergreen Fog, and Repose Gray in neutral-driven palettes.
