What color is Sherwin Williams Cloud Nine?
Sherwin Williams Cloud Nine SW 6546 is a very light gray with a faint rosy cast visible in its #e6e4e4 color value. Its near-white depth keeps walls looking open while providing a little more definition than a plain white. In daylight, Cloud Nine reads as a soft, understated pale gray; warmer evening bulbs can draw out its subtle blush warmth. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and ceilings where a quiet neutral backdrop is wanted without a stark effect. Pair it with soft white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal details for a restrained, layered finish.

LRV of Cloud Nine
Cloud Nine has an LRV of 78.08% and refers to Off‑White 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 78.08%, 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.
