What color is Sherwin Williams Rainsong?
Sherwin Williams Rainsong SW 9681 is a very light blue-green with a soft gray cast, based on its pale #dde6e5 color value. It reads cool and airy without looking sharply icy, thanks to its muted, low-saturation appearance. In brighter daylight, the blue-green notes can appear clearer, while lower or warmer lighting may bring its gentle grayness forward. Use Rainsong on bedroom, bathroom, or living room walls where a quiet, washed color is preferable to plain white. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal details, or natural linen for a clean, lightly layered interior.

LRV of Rainsong
Rainsong has an LRV of 77.77% 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 77.77%, 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.
