What color is Sherwin Williams Constellation?
Sherwin Williams Constellation SW 9629 is a light, muted gray with a noticeable beige cast that keeps it from reading cold or stark. Its low-saturation character gives walls a soft, lightly weathered look, especially in rooms with natural wood, linen, or stone. In bright daylight, Constellation can appear like a pale greige, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its gentle taupe-beige side. It is well suited to main living areas, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral is needed without the crispness of a true white. Pair this color with creamy whites, medium oak, charcoal accents, or brushed brass for contrast that still feels grounded.

What are Sherwin Williams Constellation undertones?
Constellation is a light, very muted straw beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Constellation
Constellation has an LRV of 60.23% 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 60.23%, 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.
