Caviar
There is more to Sherwin-Williams Caviar (6990) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. Its grey classifications hint at the directions it may take as daylight, lamps and neighboring colors move around it. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
