Sherwin Williams

Mineral Gray

SW 2740

Mineral Gray is a cool mid-to-dark blue-gray with a slate undertone and an LRV of 9, making it one of the darker options on the color card. At this depth, it reads close to charcoal in low-light conditions but reveals its blue-gray character under direct or ambient daylight. It is practical for accent walls, cabinetry, front doors, and exterior shutters.

Pair it with Pure White (SW 7005) for sharp contrast, alongside Silverpointe (SW 7653), Online (SW 7072), Agreeable Gray (SW 7029), and Snowbound (SW 7004).
