Sherwin Williams

Analytical Gray

SW 7051

Analytical Gray (hex #BFB6A7) is a muted greige with soft brown and taupe undertones that keep it firmly in warm-neutral territory. Its LRV of 47 places it at a moderate reflectance level, providing enough brightness for open layouts while offering sufficient depth for smaller rooms. The color remains stable across varied lighting conditions, resisting strong shifts toward yellow or blue.

It pairs well with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster or Shoji White for trim, Urbane Bronze for a richer accent, Retreat for earthy depth, and Oyster Bay or Sea Salt to introduce a subtle green-gray contrast.
