Sherwin Williams

Link Gray

SW 6200

Link Gray SW 6200 is a cool neutral gray distinguished by subtle green undertones, carrying an LRV of 21 that classifies it as a deeper mid-tone. Its muted quality functions effectively in studies, accent walls, or exterior trim where contrast is needed against lighter field colors. The green cast becomes more apparent under warm lighting and should be evaluated across conditions.

It coordinates naturally with Pure White SW 7005 for trim, alongside Mindful Gray SW 7016 and Agreeable Gray SW 7029 for tonal transitions. Urbane Bronze SW 7048 provides a rich complementary anchor.
