What color is Sherwin Williams Silent Ripple?
Sherwin Williams Silent Ripple SW 9682 is a light blue-gray with a clean, softly muted appearance. Its pale blue cast is tempered by a gentle gray undertone, keeping it from reading overly icy or pastel. In bright daylight, this color can look airy and slightly cooler, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out more of its quiet gray character. It is well suited to bedroom, bathroom, or laundry room walls where a light reflective finish is wanted without using stark white. Pair Silent Ripple with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or soft sand-colored textiles for a grounded contrast.

LRV of Silent Ripple
Silent Ripple has an LRV of 73.72% 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 73.72%, 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.
