What color is Sherwin Williams Belize?
Sherwin Williams Belize SW 6945 is a clear, light aqua with an even blue-green cast and a distinctly cool temperature. Its medium-light value keeps it bright enough for broad wall coverage, while the noticeable saturation gives it more presence than a pale pastel. In daylight, Belize reads crisp and watery; under warmer bulbs, its blue-green character can soften slightly without losing its color. It suits bathrooms, sunrooms, laundry rooms, or a coastal-inspired bedroom, and can also make a cheerful statement on a front door or painted furniture. Pair it with clean white trim, pale natural wood, sandy beige textiles, or deeper navy accents for contrast.

LRV of Belize
Belize has an LRV of 55.83% 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 55.83%, 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.
