Sherwin Williams

Mountain Road

SW 7743

Mountain Road is a mid-tone neutral with a green-gray cast, carrying an LRV of 23. This reflectance level gives it enough weight to function as a grounding color on lower cabinetry, exterior siding, or accent walls. The green-gray undertone distinguishes it from standard warm grays and keeps it from reading as flat.

It shifts cooler under fluorescent lighting and warmer in natural daylight. Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Evergreen Fog, Repose Gray, Thunderous, and Pure White make effective companions in layered schemes.
