Sherwin Williams

Zircon

SW 7667

Zircon (SW, hex #CAC9C6) is a light gray with a discernible purple undertone, measured at an LRV of 59. That purple cast distinguishes it from purely neutral grays and can become more apparent under warm artificial lighting. At its mid-to-high reflectance level, it maintains readability in both compact and open rooms without washing out.

Effective Sherwin-Williams pairings include Peppercorn, Cyberspace, Silverpointe, Passive, and Frosty White, supporting both high-contrast and tonal palette approaches.

Zircon 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.
