What color is Sherwin Williams Symmetry?
Sherwin Williams Symmetry SW 9601 is a light, muted beige with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly creamy or yellow. Its low saturation gives walls a quiet, lightly weathered look, while the warm undertone helps it feel comfortable alongside natural wood. In bright daylight, Symmetry can appear pale and softly neutral; under warmer evening bulbs, its beige side becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and open hallways, especially with linen textiles, oak or walnut finishes, and matte black or aged-brass hardware. Pair it with warm white trim and deeper taupe, charcoal, or earthy brown accents for definition.

LRV of Symmetry
Symmetry has an LRV of 60.64% 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 60.64%, 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.
