What color is Sherwin Williams Piedmont?
Sherwin Williams Piedmont SW 9657 is a pale, muted green-gray with a soft mineral cast rather than a bright botanical look. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet on large walls, while the gentle green undertone becomes more noticeable in clear daylight. Under warm evening lighting, Piedmont can read closer to a softened gray with a faint hint of sage. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, mudrooms, and kitchens where white trim, pale oak, limestone, or brushed nickel add crisp contrast. For cabinetry or an exterior accent, pair it with warm off-whites and charcoal details to keep its subtle green character visible.

LRV of Piedmont
Piedmont has an LRV of 59.77% 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 59.77%, 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.
