What color is Sherwin Williams March Wind?
Sherwin Williams March Wind SW 7668 is a light, low-saturation gray with a faint warm cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its slightly softened beige-gray appearance makes it especially useful for main walls in bedrooms, living rooms, and open hallways where a quiet neutral is needed. In bright daylight, March Wind can look like a clean pale gray, while warmer artificial light may bring out its subtle greige side. Pair it with crisp white trim, weathered oak, linen upholstery, and charcoal or muted blue accents for contrast. This shade also suits cabinetry or exterior siding when a restrained, softly weathered gray is the goal.

LRV of March Wind
March Wind has an LRV of 48.65% 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 48.65%, 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.
