What color is Sherwin Williams Dew Drop?

Sherwin Williams Dew Drop SW 9641 is a very light, cool-leaning blue-gray with a soft, misty appearance. Its faint blue cast is most noticeable beside warm whites or natural wood, while the gray base keeps it from reading overtly pastel. In bright daylight, Dew Drop can look airy and nearly silver-blue; under warmer bulbs, it tends to settle into a gentler pale gray. It is well suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and quiet living areas where a light wall color is wanted without using stark white. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or muted navy textiles for definition.

LRV of Dew Drop

Dew Drop has an LRV of 70.43% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 70.43%, 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.
