What color is Sherwin Williams Starry Night?
Sherwin Williams Starry Night SW 6540 is a pale, cool-leaning gray with a faint blue cast visible in its soft, silvery appearance. Its high lightness and low saturation keep it airy rather than icy, making it a good fit for bedrooms, bathrooms, or open living areas that need a quiet neutral backdrop. In bright daylight, the blue-gray note may come forward, while warmer evening lighting can make it appear closer to a gentle light gray. Pair Starry Night with crisp white trim, charcoal details, brushed nickel, and pale oak for a clean, understated palette. It is especially effective on full walls and ceilings where its subtle color can be appreciated without feeling heavy.

LRV of Starry Night
Starry Night has an LRV of 69.06% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 69.06%, 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.
