What color is Sherwin Williams Silverplate?

Sherwin Williams Silverplate SW 7649 is a light, muted gray with a faint warm beige cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its low saturation gives walls a soft, powdery appearance, especially in rooms with abundant daylight. In cooler north-facing light, Silverplate can look more neutral gray, while warmer bulbs bring out its subtle taupe-beige side. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a quiet mid-light neutral is wanted without the brightness of white. Pair it with creamy trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or muted blue-gray textiles for gentle contrast.

LRV of Silverplate

Silverplate has an LRV of 52.59% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

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 52.59%, 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.
