What color is Sherwin Williams Sea Spray?
Sherwin Williams Sea Spray SW 9651 is a pale, low-saturation gray with a subtle green cast that keeps it from looking flat or stark. Its light value gives walls an airy, softly muted appearance, while the slight green influence may be more noticeable beside crisp whites or warmer beige finishes. In bright daylight, Sea Spray can read as a clean, silvery gray; under warmer artificial light, it may appear gentler and a little more neutral. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and open living areas where a quiet backdrop is wanted without using plain white. Pair it with soft white trim, light oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for clear contrast.

LRV of Sea Spray
Sea Spray has an LRV of 60.72% 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 60.72%, 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.
