What color is Sherwin Williams Glacier Bay?
Sherwin Williams Glacier Bay SW 9626 is a very light gray with a subtle warm cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its low saturation gives walls a soft, quiet look, while the slightly muted tone provides more definition than a plain white. In bright daylight, Glacier Bay can appear close to a pale off-white; under warmer lamps, its gentle beige-gray quality becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a light neutral is needed without a sharp contrast. Pair this shade with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, linen upholstery, or charcoal details for a restrained, layered palette.

LRV of Glacier Bay
Glacier Bay has an LRV of 75.22% 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 75.22%, 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.
