What color is Sherwin Williams Cold Foam?
Sherwin Williams Cold Foam SW 9504 is a very light, cool-leaning gray that reads almost like a soft off-white on broad walls. Its faint blue-gray undertone gives it a clean, slightly misty appearance rather than a creamy one. In bright daylight, it can look pale and airy; in north-facing rooms, the cooler cast becomes more noticeable. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, or open living areas where you want definition without committing to a stronger gray. Cold Foam pairs naturally with crisp warm whites, pale oak, honed stone, brushed nickel, and deep navy accents.
LRV of Cold Foam
Cold Foam has an LRV of 84% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 84%, 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.
