What color is Sherwin Williams Olympus White?
Sherwin Williams Olympus White SW 6253 is a very light gray-white with a soft cool cast that leans faintly blue-green rather than creamy. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet and airy, while the gray base gives it more presence than a stark white. In bright daylight, Olympus White can read nearly white with a clean, misty edge; under warmer lamps, its gray undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and open living areas where a pale wall color is wanted without a yellow or beige influence. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or muted blue-green textiles for a cohesive palette.

LRV of Olympus White
Olympus White has an LRV of 68.09% 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 68.09%, 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.
