What color is Sherwin Williams Ski Slope?
Sherwin Williams Ski Slope SW 6518 is a very light, softly muted gray with a faint green cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its high brightness makes it a useful wall color for rooms that need a clean backdrop without the sharper contrast of pure white. In daylight, Ski Slope can appear nearly off-white, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its gentle gray-green undertone. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and open living areas, especially alongside pale oak, brushed nickel, white tile, and linen upholstery. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal accents, deep blue-gray textiles, or black-framed windows and doors.

LRV of Ski Slope
Ski Slope has an LRV of 77.56% 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 77.56%, 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.
