What color is Sherwin Williams Aleutian?
Sherwin Williams Aleutian SW 6241 is a muted blue-gray with a cool cast and a softened, medium-light depth. Its gray base keeps the blue from reading overly bright, giving walls a quiet, lightly weathered appearance rather than a crisp coastal blue. In north-facing rooms it can look more silvery and blue-gray, while warmer daylight and evening lighting may bring out its gentler gray side. Aleutian suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices, and it also has enough presence for built-in cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or warm taupe textiles to give the cool color a grounded contrast.

LRV of Aleutian
Aleutian has an LRV of 38.67% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 38.67%, 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.
