What color is Sherwin Williams Billowy Breeze?
Sherwin Williams Billowy Breeze SW 9055 is a light, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its cool blue-green lean becomes clearer in daylight, while lower or warmer indoor lighting can bring out its soft silvery quality. Use it on bedroom, bathroom, or laundry room walls where a pale color can add definition without making the room feel heavily colored. Billowy Breeze pairs nicely with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. On cabinetry or an exterior door, this shade gives a subtle wash of color against white, stone, or warm wood surroundings.

LRV of Billowy Breeze
Billowy Breeze has an LRV of 54.51% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 54.51%, 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.
