Exterior Spotlight: Dorian Gray SW 7017
Body: SW 7017 Dorian Gray
Trim: SW 7005 Pure White
In the Pacific Northwest, light is our most challenging variable. **Sherwin-Williams Dorian Gray (SW 7017)** is a perennial favorite for **Sammamish, Woodinville, and Redmond** homeowners because it strikes a rare balance: it is dark enough to provide sophisticated contrast against **Pure White (SW 7005)** trim, but light enough to stay "gray" rather than "charcoal" under our heavy cloud cover.
With an LRV (Light Reflectance Value) of 39, Dorian Gray is remarkably stable. It lacks the heavy blue or purple undertones that can make other grays look cold. Instead, it offers a refined, stony warmth that complements both traditional cedar siding and modern mixed-material architecture found in **Kirkland and Bellevue**.
