What color is Sherwin Williams Create?
Sherwin Williams Create SW 9646 is a light, muted gray with a soft green-beige cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered, almost mineral look, especially alongside crisp white trim. In daylight, Create can appear more silvery gray, while warmer evening lighting tends to bring out its subtle olive warmth. It is well suited to bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens where a quiet neutral is needed without the flatness of plain gray. Pair it with creamy off-whites, natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Create
Create has an LRV of 58.44% 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 58.44%, 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.
