What color is Sherwin Williams Atmospheric?
Sherwin Williams Atmospheric SW 6505 is a light, cool blue with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its pale blue-green lean is most noticeable in clear daylight, while lower or warmer light can bring out its muted gray side. Atmospheric has enough softness for full-room walls in bedrooms, bathrooms, and airy living spaces without making the room feel heavily colored. Pair it with crisp white trim, weathered oak, pale stone, and brushed nickel for a clean, coastal-leaning palette. It can also make a calm choice for cabinetry or a covered exterior, especially alongside charcoal accents or deep navy details.

LRV of Atmospheric
Atmospheric has an LRV of 66.86% 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 66.86%, 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.
