What color is Sherwin Williams Adrift?
Sherwin Williams Adrift SW 7608 is a medium-light blue with a softened gray cast and a subtle blue-green edge. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading overly bright, giving walls a cool, airy presence without turning icy. In north-facing rooms, Adrift may appear more blue-gray, while warm afternoon light can bring out its gentler teal influence. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and coastal-inspired living spaces, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed nickel. For contrast, pair this shade with deep navy accents, charcoal details, or warm terracotta textiles.

LRV of Adrift
Adrift has an LRV of 37.27% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 37.27%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
