What color is Sherwin Williams Stardew?
Sherwin Williams Stardew SW 9138 is a soft, muted blue-gray with a gently cool cast and low-to-medium saturation. Its #a6b2b5 value gives it an airy, weathered appearance rather than a crisp or icy blue. In bright daylight, Stardew can read cleaner and slightly more blue, while dimmer or warmer lighting tends to bring forward its gray-green softness. It is especially well suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, and living room walls where a light but noticeable color is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or natural linen for a grounded, understated palette.

LRV of Stardew
Stardew has an LRV of 43.06% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 43.06%, 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.
