What color is Sherwin Williams Big Chill?
Sherwin Williams Big Chill SW 7648 is a pale, low-saturation gray with a subtle beige cast visible in its #d0cec9 color value. It reads soft and lightly warm rather than icy, with enough gray to keep it from looking like a conventional off-white. In bright daylight, Big Chill can appear clean and nearly neutral; warmer bulbs tend to bring out its faint mushroom-toned warmth. It suits broad wall areas in bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways, where its gentle depth gives white trim a little contrast. Pair it with creamy whites, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal details, or muted blue-gray textiles for a grounded palette.

LRV of Big Chill
Big Chill has an LRV of 61.71% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 61.71%, 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.
