Sherwin Williams

Quest Gray

SW 7080

Quest Gray is a mid-tone cool gray with purple undertones that distinguish it from warmer greige alternatives. Its LRV of 39 places it in the medium range, absorbing more light than it reflects and producing a noticeably shaded effect on walls. This depth works in rooms with adequate lighting, including dining rooms, hallways, and home offices where a defined wall color is preferred.

The purple cast becomes more apparent in cooler light and recedes under warm-toned lighting. It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Silver Strand and Comfort Gray for tonal layering, Alabaster as a trim white, and Naval for darker contrast.
