What color is Sherwin Williams Windchill?
Sherwin Williams Windchill SW 9636 is a pale, softly muted gray with a faint cool green cast visible in the color value #d5d8d7. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the low saturation prevents it from reading stark or icy. In bright daylight, Windchill can appear close to a clean light gray; under warmer interior lighting, its gentle green-gray undertone may become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and open living areas, especially alongside white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, matte black details, and quiet blue-green or charcoal accents.

LRV of Windchill
Windchill has an LRV of 68.01% 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 68.01%, 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.
