What color is Sherwin Williams Reflection?
Sherwin Williams Reflection SW 7661 is a very light gray with a faint green-gray cast visible in its #d3d5d3 color value. Its low saturation keeps it quiet and neutral-looking rather than distinctly colorful, while the slightly higher green component prevents it from reading as a stark blue-gray. In bright daylight, Reflection can look clean and pale against white trim; in dimmer rooms, it may settle into a softer, more muted gray. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and open living areas where a light wall color is wanted without the sharpness of pure white. Pair it with crisp whites, charcoal accents, natural oak, brushed nickel, or matte black hardware for a restrained, contemporary finish.

LRV of Reflection
Reflection has an LRV of 66.06% 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 66.06%, 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.
