What color is Sherwin Williams Warm Winter?

Sherwin Williams Warm Winter SW 9506 is a light, muted neutral with a soft greige cast and a gentle warmth that keeps it from reading stark. It can look a little more beige in warm evening light, while north-facing rooms may bring out its quieter gray side. Use it as a main wall color in bedrooms, living rooms, or hallways where a pale backdrop is wanted without the crispness of bright white. Warm Winter sits naturally beside natural oak, limestone, linen upholstery, and brushed brass, and it also gives dark green or navy accents a grounded setting.

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 69.82%, 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.
