What color is Sherwin Williams Serendipity?

Sherwin Williams Serendipity SW 9671 is a barely-there pale gray with a soft green cast, reading clean and lightly organic rather than stark white. Its high lightness keeps rooms open, while the muted color gives walls more presence than a plain off-white. In daylight, Serendipity can show its gentle green-gray character; under warmer lamps, it may appear softer and closer to a subdued warm gray. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living spaces, especially alongside pale oak, linen upholstery, matte black hardware, and creamy white trim. Use this shade across full walls or cabinetry when you want a restrained background that still contributes a hint of color.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 83.67%, 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.
