Sherwin Williams

Network Gray

SW 7073

Network Gray is a cool mid-tone gray carrying distinct blue undertones, with an LRV of 37 that places it firmly in the medium-depth range. It reads as a composed neutral in north-facing rooms and works well in home offices, bathrooms, and transitional spaces where a cooler palette is appropriate. This gray coordinates cleanly with Sherwin-Williams Extra White for trim contrast, Agreeable Gray in adjoining rooms, Naval as a deep accent, Misty on upper walls, and Ice Cube for a tonal ceiling treatment.

Artificial lighting may amplify its blue cast slightly.

Network Gray in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
