What color is Sherwin Williams Wavecrest?
Sherwin Williams Wavecrest SW 9672 is a pale, softened green-gray with a light, slightly earthy cast. Its muted sage undertone keeps the color from reading like a plain off-white, while the high lightness makes it feel open on broad walls. In bright natural light, Wavecrest can appear cleaner and airier; under warmer lamps, its gentle green and yellow-gray notes become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and living areas where a quiet alternative to white is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, limestone, brushed nickel, or deeper olive and charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Wavecrest
Wavecrest has an LRV of 69.3% 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 69.3%, 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.
