Give this sample a clear job
Sample Sherwin-Williams Smoky Blue SW-7604 beside the fixed finishes, in the intended orientation and under normal room lighting. The trial should settle a blue feature wall with enough light to show the gray . Smoky Blue's low LRV gives its gray-softened blue architectural weight rather than a pale wash effect.
Why the cognac leather and white trim relationship matters
Cognac leather provides a warm colored counterpoint; extra blue accessories are optional because the wall already carries a strong direction.
Smoky Blue and Slate Tile both have a published LRV of 15. That equality describes reflectance, not matching colorants or identical undertones.
Keep the comparison fair
Use a large dried Smoky Blue board and inspect it at the darkest intended position. Photograph the area only as a planning record; judge the color in person with the normal lamps. Compare the full painted shape before assuming a small dark chip predicts the room's enclosure.
Approve the actual coating and the least favorable view
Look at the sample from the entry as well as close up; a deep wall is judged across the room. The trim color comparison covers that related choice.
Keep the approved dried board with the complete Sherwin-Williams SW-7604 product and finish specification. Follow the actual coating instructions for application, drying and preparation; the color name does not settle those requirements. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
