What 47 tells you about Amazing Gray
The published LRV of Sherwin-Williams Amazing Gray SW-7044 is 47. It describes light reflectance; it does not specify an undertone or predict the brightness of your room. Amazing Gray's green undertone is a meaningful distinction within the warm-gray range, not a detail to dismiss because the name says gray.
The choice beside beige limestone and dark wood
Beige limestone and dark wood can support a grounded palette, provided the green note improves their relationship instead of competing with the stone.
The editorial priority for this color is a green-gray neutral against warm stone. Place the Amazing Gray board against the actual trim, then move it to the least illuminated part of the proposed wall. Judge the visible boundary from a normal viewing distance. A value that looks suitable on a table may produce too little distinction from one fixed finish and too much from another.
What the comparison can—and cannot—settle
Amazing Gray has an LRV of 47; Sherwin-Williams Worldly Gray SW-7043 is 57. The difference is 10 points, with Worldly Gray returning more light under the reference measurement. Amazing Gray is a warm gray with a green undertone. The value measures reflectance, so it cannot by itself identify an undertone, a coating finish or the amount of illumination needed in the room. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice.
Choose the green influence because it helps the stone, not because the gray name sounds safely neutral. Do not read LRV 47 as a percentage improvement in perceived room brightness. Make the decision with the board upright at the actual wall or cabinet position, including the least illuminated portion. The north-facing room assessment covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
