What color is Sherwin Williams Rock Candy?
Sherwin Williams Rock Candy SW 6231 is a very light, muted gray with a faint green cast visible in its #dee1df color value. Its low saturation keeps the look soft and nearly neutral, while the slight coolness helps white trim and pale gray furnishings read cleanly rather than creamy. In bright daylight, Rock Candy can appear close to an airy off-white; in lower light, its gray-green undertone becomes a little more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and open living areas where a pale wall color is wanted without the starkness of pure white. Pair it with crisp white woodwork, brushed nickel, light oak, charcoal accents, or soft sage textiles for a restrained, layered palette.

LRV of Rock Candy
Rock Candy has an LRV of 74.56% 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 74.56%, 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.
