City Loft
Sherwin-Williams
SW 7631
City Loft is a light warm gray sitting just below the off-whites, the kind of quiet wall color that makes everything in front of it look intentional. It reads more gray than Shoji White and softer than a true greige, which suits contemporary spaces with pale floors and minimal trim contrast. It is also a designer favorite for garage and basement refreshes precisely because it is so even-keeled.

What is the Benjamin Moore equivalent of City Loft?
The closest Benjamin Moore match for City Loft is Athena 858 (#DDD9CE). 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 City Loft warm or cool?
City Loft is a warm-leaning light gray, gentle and even with no loud undertone. It can drift slightly grayer in cool light and slightly creamier in warm light, but the swings are small, which makes it dependable. The LRV of approximately 70 keeps it luminous, nearly an off-white. It works across orientations better than most pale grays and pairs cleanly with both Pure White and warmer trim.
Why does City Loft 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 #DFDAD1 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does City Loft have?
City Loft has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 70, meaning it reflects about 70% of visible light. That places it among lighter colors that keep rooms feeling open and bright.
