Mega Greige
Sherwin-Williams
SW 7031
Mega Greige is exactly what the name promises: a greige with the volume turned up, sitting at medium depth with a strong taupe lean. It works where lighter greiges feel insubstantial, in dining rooms, offices, and exteriors. The brown in its base means it harmonizes with khaki, leather, and wood far better than a gray of equal depth would.

What is the Benjamin Moore equivalent of Mega Greige?
The closest Benjamin Moore match for Mega Greige is Quicksand CSP-200 (#AEA497). No cross-brand match is exact, because each brand mixes its own pigment formulas. Always confirm with a physical sample before specifying a substitute.
Is Mega Greige warm or cool?
Mega Greige is warm, with taupe and brown undertones doing most of the talking. It rarely reads cold even in north light, though dim rooms push it toward a heavier mushroom tone. At an LRV of approximately 37, it is a true medium that anchors a wall without darkening the room. It pairs naturally with creams and warm whites; against cool blue-grays it can look muddy by comparison.
Why does Mega Greige look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #ADA295 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Mega Greige have?
Mega Greige has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 37, meaning it reflects about 37% of visible light. That mid-range depth reads as a true color on the wall without going dark.
