What color is Sherwin Williams White Sail?
Sherwin Williams White Sail SW 9622 is a very light off-white with a faint warm cast, softened by a touch of gray rather than strong creaminess. Its near-neutral appearance keeps walls bright without looking stark or icy. In sunny rooms, White Sail can read clean and lightly warm, while lower or cooler light brings out its subtle muted quality. It suits whole-room walls, ceilings, and trim when a gentle contrast from pure white is wanted. Pair it with pale oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, soft charcoal, or muted green accents for a grounded, natural palette.
LRV of White Sail
White Sail has an LRV of 82.88% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 82.88%, 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.
