Grizzle Gray
Sherwin-Williams
SW 7068
Grizzle Gray is a dark gray with a green undercurrent that gives it an organic, almost mossy depth in the right light. That undertone makes it a natural beside stone, cedar, and landscaping, which is why it does so much exterior work. Indoors it suits dens, built-ins, and doors where a charcoal with character beats a flat one.

Is Grizzle Gray warm or cool?
Grizzle Gray is a balanced-to-cool dark gray with a distinct green undertone. In daylight the green softens it toward an earthy charcoal; in low light it reads close to neutral dark gray. The LRV of approximately 13 keeps it firmly in the dark range. It harmonizes with natural materials better than blue-leaning darks, and it pairs well with creamy whites rather than stark ones.
Why does Grizzle Gray 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 #636562 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Grizzle Gray have?
Grizzle Gray has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 13, meaning it reflects about 13% of visible light. That low value makes it a dramatic, light-absorbing choice that works well with strong natural light or as an accent.
