What color is Sherwin Williams Stargazer?

Sherwin Williams Stargazer SW 9635 is a muted blue-gray with a noticeable green cast, giving it the look of weathered slate or deep sea glass. Its medium-dark value feels grounded rather than stark, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading overly nautical. In bright natural light, Stargazer may show more of its blue-green character; under warmer lamps, its gray base becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, studies, powder rooms, and exterior shutters, especially alongside crisp off-whites, charcoal, pale oak, aged brass, or matte black details. Use this shade on full walls for a cocooning effect or on cabinetry and doors where its quiet depth can stand out.

What are Sherwin Williams Stargazer undertones?

Stargazer reads as a midtone, very muted blue-green gray with low saturation and a quiet, neutral-leaning character. Its subtle teal direction can make it appear slightly greener or bluer depending on the surrounding light, rather than showing a strong, fixed undertone. Sherwin-Williams classifies Stargazer as a Neutral paint color, which fits its softened gray cast even though the visible color family leans blue-green. Warm artificial light may bring out a slightly softer, grayer look, while cool daylight can make its blue-green direction more noticeable.

LRV of Stargazer

Stargazer has an LRV of 16.57% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 16.57%, 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.
