What color is Sherwin Williams Lakeside?
Sherwin Williams Lakeside SW 9683 is a pale, muted blue-gray with a distinctly cool cast. Its soft gray base keeps the blue understated, giving the color a lightly weathered, airy appearance rather than a bright coastal look. In north-facing or low light, Lakeside can read as a cooler gray-blue, while warmer daylight and incandescent lighting bring out its gentle silver-gray side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and quiet living areas where a light wall color is wanted without using plain white. Pair it with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, brushed nickel, or deeper slate-blue textiles for a grounded finish.

LRV of Lakeside
Lakeside has an LRV of 46.83% 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 46.83%, 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.
