What color is Sherwin Williams First Star?
Sherwin Williams First Star SW 7646 is a very light, softly muted gray with a subtle warm cast from its slightly creamy beige undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading stark or icy, while the pale value gives walls an open, airy appearance. In bright daylight, First Star can look close to a gentle off-white; under warmer artificial light, its faint warmth becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, living areas, and hallways where a quiet neutral backdrop is wanted without the sharp contrast of pure white. Pair this shade with natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or deeper greige trim for definition.

LRV of First Star
First Star has an LRV of 69.48% 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 69.48%, 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.
