What color is Sherwin Williams Hibernate?

Sherwin Williams Hibernate SW 9573 is a muted mid-tone gray with a gentle beige cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its low saturation gives walls a soft, settled look, while the slight warmth becomes more noticeable in afternoon sun and under warm indoor lighting. In cooler daylight, Hibernate can appear closer to a balanced, weathered gray. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral is needed without the brightness of off-white. Pair it with creamy trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, charcoal details, or aged brass for a layered, grounded palette.

LRV of Hibernate

Hibernate has an LRV of 38.46% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of lightWhy LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 38.46%, 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.
