Painting with Sherwin-Williams Iron Ore (SW 7069)

This rich, deep charcoal possesses soft, warm undertones that shift beautifully in daylight, anchoring modern and traditional architectural styles alike.

Why Iron Ore is Perfect for Eastside Exteriors & Interiors

Unlike pure blacks that can look flat or aggressively dark against the Pacific Northwest backdrop, Iron Ore features a subtle complexity. With an LRV (Light Reflectance Value) of 6, it absorbs the majority of light but retains enough softness to showcase shadow details, architectural millwork, and crisp contrasting trims.
