What color is Sherwin Williams Dashing?
Sherwin Williams Dashing SW 9544 is a near-white with a soft gray cast and the slightest hint of green beneath its surface. Its high lightness keeps rooms bright without looking stark, while the muted undertone gives white walls a little more depth. In daylight, Dashing can appear clean and lightly mineral; under warmer bulbs, it may take on a gentler, subtly softened look. It suits whole-room walls, ceilings, and trim in kitchens, bedrooms, or airy living areas where a pure white might feel too sharp. Pair this color with pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, and muted green-gray textiles for a grounded, low-contrast palette.

LRV of Dashing
Dashing has an LRV of 82.9% 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 82.9%, 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.
