What color is Sherwin Williams French Moire?
Sherwin Williams French Moire SW 9056 is a light, muted blue-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool character is noticeable, though the moderate grayness gives it enough restraint for larger wall areas. In daylight, French Moire can show more of its airy blue side, while lower or warmer indoor light may draw out its subdued green-gray quality. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and covered exterior details where a pale coastal-leaning color feels appropriate. Pair it with crisp white trim, weathered oak, pale stone, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a grounded contrast.

LRV of French Moire
French Moire has an LRV of 46.95% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 46.95%, 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.
