Why Gauntlet Gray Works in the Pacific Northwest
Choosing an exterior color on the Eastside—Woodinville, Redmond, Kirkland, Bellevue, Sammamish, Issaquah, or Mercer Island—means balancing style with our climate. One color we recommend again and again is Sherwin‑Williams Gauntlet Gray (SW 7019), a warm gray in the medium‑dark range.
- Sufficient depth. With an LRV of 17, it doesn’t wash out under our soft, overcast light.
- Warm undertones. Cooler grays can read blue or flat here; Gauntlet Gray keeps a subtle warmth.
- Versatile with materials. It pairs well with cedar siding, stone accents, and metal trim.
