What color is Sherwin Williams Radiant Dawn?
Sherwin Williams Radiant Dawn SW 9661 is a pale, softly warm neutral with a creamy beige cast. Its light value keeps walls looking open and airy, while the subtle warmth prevents it from reading as stark white. In bright daylight, Radiant Dawn can appear lightly sun-washed and clean; under warmer lamps, its beige undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a gentle off-white backdrop is wanted, especially alongside natural oak, linen, woven fibers, and muted clay accents. Use this shade on broad wall areas or trim for a quiet, low-contrast look.

LRV of Radiant Dawn
Radiant Dawn has an LRV of 75.42% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 75.42%, 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.
