What color is Sherwin Williams Pacific Fog?

Sherwin Williams Pacific Fog SW 9627 is a very light, softened off-white with a quiet gray cast and a faint warm undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading stark, giving walls a lightly weathered, powdery appearance rather than a crisp white finish. In cooler daylight, Pacific Fog can look more pale gray, while warmer bulbs bring out its gentle ivory side. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a subtle backdrop is preferred, and it can also soften cabinetry or built-ins without making them appear bright white. Pair this shade with natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, charcoal details, or muted blue-gray accents.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 71.31%, 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.
