What color is Sherwin Williams Silver Lake?

Sherwin Williams Silver Lake SW 9633 is a light, muted blue-gray with a soft cool cast and a faint hint of green in its undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly blue, giving walls a quiet washed-color appearance rather than a crisp pastel look. In bright daylight, Silver Lake can appear airy and silvery, while lower or warmer lighting may bring forward its gray side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and built-in cabinetry where a pale color with more presence than white is wanted. Pair it with clean white trim, weathered oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or natural linen for a restrained, layered palette.

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 52.8%, 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.
