What color is Sherwin Williams Ice Cube?
Sherwin Williams Ice Cube SW 6252 is a very light, muted gray with a subtle green cast visible in its soft off-white base. The color reads cool overall, but its low saturation keeps it from feeling stark or icy on large wall areas. In bright daylight, Ice Cube can appear close to a pale gray-white, while dimmer or warmer artificial light may draw out its gentle green-gray undertone. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and open living spaces where a clean backdrop is wanted without the sharpness of pure white. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale natural oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or muted blue-green textiles for a restrained, layered look.

LRV of Ice Cube
Ice Cube has an LRV of 77.49% 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 77.49%, 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.
