What color is Sherwin Williams Frost Bite?
Sherwin Williams Frost Bite SW 9505 is a very light, cool blue-gray that reads like winter sky seen through a thin veil of clouds. Its blue undertone is clear but restrained, so the color feels airy rather than overtly pastel. In bright daylight, it can look nearly white with a faint icy cast; north-facing rooms may bring out more of its silvery blue character. Frost Bite suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, bedrooms, and ceilings where a crisp alternative to plain white is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, soft linen, or deeper navy accents to give the room some contrast.

LRV of Frost Bite
Frost Bite has an LRV of 87.86% 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 87.86%, 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.
