What color is Sherwin Williams Moonmist?
Sherwin Williams Moonmist SW 9144 is a light, muted blue with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or pastel. Its cool blue undertone is most noticeable in daylight, while warmer bulbs can bring out its gentle silvery side. Moonmist suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, or airy living spaces where a pale wall color is wanted without stark white contrast. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a clean, grounded look. On cabinetry or an exterior front door, this shade reads subtle and understated rather than bright.

What are Sherwin Williams Moonmist undertones?
Moonmist reads as a light, very muted blue with a soft gray cast and low saturation. The supplied digital sample leans subtly blue-green, though that bias is faint and should be treated as a relative impression rather than a fixed undertone. Sherwin-Williams classifies Moonmist as a blue, which matches its visible main color family. Warm artificial light may make its grayness more noticeable or slightly soften the blue, while cool daylight can make the blue-green direction appear a bit clearer.

LRV of Moonmist
Moonmist has an LRV of 67.67% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 67.67%, 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.
