What color is Sherwin Williams Icicle?
Sherwin Williams Icicle SW 6238 is a very light, cool gray with a faint blue cast that keeps it from reading flat or beige. Its soft, low-saturation appearance suits walls in bedrooms, bathrooms, and open living spaces where a clean pale neutral is wanted without stark white contrast. In bright daylight, Icicle can show more of its subtle blue-gray character, while warmer artificial lighting may make it appear closer to a gentle silver gray. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or muted navy textiles for a cohesive cool-toned palette. It is especially effective across larger wall areas, where its quiet color variation becomes more noticeable than it would on a small accent wall.

LRV of Icicle
Icicle has an LRV of 73.28% 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 73.28%, 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.
