What color is Sherwin Williams Daphne?
Sherwin Williams Daphne SW 9151 is a muted blue-gray with a cool, lightly weathered cast. Its medium-light depth keeps it noticeable on walls without reading overly bold, while the gray influence softens the blue. In bright daylight, Daphne can show a clearer dusty blue appearance; under lower or warmer lighting, it tends to look more subdued and gray. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and built-in cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, or matte black details. For contrast, pair this shade with creamy off-whites and deeper charcoal or navy accents.

LRV of Daphne
Daphne has an LRV of 31.97% and refers to Medium 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 31.97%, 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.
