What color is Sherwin Williams Sweater Weather?

Sherwin Williams Sweater Weather SW 9548 is a light, low-saturation gray with a subtle warm, yellow-beige cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its softened tone can look like a pale gray in bright daylight, while warmer bulbs may draw out its faint creamy undertone. Sweater Weather is well suited to broad wall areas in living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral backdrop is needed without the sharp contrast of pure white. Pair it with crisp white trim for definition, or bring in natural oak, linen, stone, and muted charcoal for a layered, grounded look.

LRV of Sweater Weather

Sweater Weather has an LRV of 59.83% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 59.83%, 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.
