What color is Sherwin Williams Moorstone?
Sherwin Williams Moorstone SW 9630 is a light, muted gray with a soft green cast that keeps it from reading flat or icy. Its low saturation gives it a gently weathered, mineral-like appearance, while the pale value helps rooms feel open without turning stark white. In daylight, Moorstone can show more of its gray-green character; warmer evening bulbs may make it appear slightly softer and more neutral. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and living areas where a quiet alternative to standard light gray is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, natural oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or muted olive and blue-gray textiles.

LRV of Moorstone
Moorstone has an LRV of 63.28% 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 63.28%, 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.
