What color is Sherwin Williams Restoration?
Sherwin Williams Restoration SW 9578 is a muted, mid-light neutral with a warm gray-taupe cast. Its softly browned base keeps it from reading stark or icy, while the low saturation gives walls a gently weathered, grounded appearance. In bright natural light, Restoration can look like a pale warm gray; under warmer lamps, its beige and subtle rosy-brown notes become more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and cabinetry where a quiet neutral is wanted without the crispness of white. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, linen, and stone for a layered finish.
LRV of Restoration
Restoration has an LRV of 37.91% and refers to Medium 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 37.91%, 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.
