What color is Sherwin Williams Rain Cloud?
Sherwin Williams Rain Cloud SW 9639 is a deep, muted blue-gray with a distinctly cool cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading bright or overly navy, giving it the grounded look of weathered slate. In daylight, Rain Cloud can show a clearer blue-gray presence, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its charcoal-like depth. It makes a strong choice for a study, dining room, exterior trim, or built-in cabinetry where a darker color is wanted without going fully black. Pair it with soft white, pale gray, natural oak, brushed nickel, or black metal for a clean, restrained contrast.

LRV of Rain Cloud
Rain Cloud has an LRV of 11.44% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 11.44%, 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.
