What color is Sherwin Williams Ghosted?
Sherwin Williams Ghosted SW 9545 is a very light, muted neutral with a soft gray cast and a subtle warmth that keeps it from reading stark white. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered, mineral-like look, especially alongside crisp white trim. In bright daylight, Ghosted appears pale and airy, while lower or warmer light can bring out its faint beige-gray softness. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a quiet backdrop is wanted without a cool blue-gray effect. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, matte black hardware, or deeper charcoal and clay-toned accents for contrast.

LRV of Ghosted
Ghosted has an LRV of 74.84% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 74.84%, 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.
