Painting with Sherwin-Williams Iron Ore (SW 7069)
Looking for a bold, sophisticated charcoal hue that stops short of being a harsh black? Sherwin-Williams Iron Ore (SW 7069) has emerged as one of the most requested contemporary colors for fine Eastside homes. 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.
