Sherwin Williams

Spalding Gray

SW 6074

Spalding Gray is a warm-leaning neutral gray from Sherwin-Williams with subtle taupe and brown undertones that prevent it from reading as a stark, cool gray. At an LRV of 22, it falls in the darker mid-tone range, absorbing significant light and producing a substantial, weighted appearance on walls. This color is practical for accent walls, studies, or dining rooms where a deeper neutral is needed.

It works well alongside Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige for lighter adjacent surfaces, Balanced Beige on connecting walls, Tricorn Black for strong contrast on trim, Redend Point as an accent, and Naval for a complementary deep pairing.
