What color is Sherwin Williams Imagine?
Sherwin Williams Imagine SW 6009 is a light, muted gray with a soft rosy-beige cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered, powdery appearance, especially in rooms with indirect daylight. In brighter light, Imagine can look like a pale warm gray; under warm evening bulbs, its subtle pink-taupe undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, and quiet living spaces, and can also soften cabinetry or built-ins without making them the focal point. Pair it with creamy whites, medium wood tones, brushed brass, charcoal accents, and textiles in oatmeal, mauve, or faded plum.

LRV of Imagine
Imagine has an LRV of 48.38% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 48.38%, 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.
