Grounded
There is more to Sherwin-Williams Grounded (6089) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. Its LRV of 11.9 gives it real visual weight, allowing the color to hold a wall rather than simply recede from view. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
