What color is Sherwin Williams Blissful Blue?
Sherwin Williams Blissful Blue SW 6527 is a light, softened blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its cool lean is clear, though the muted quality gives it a gentle, powdery appearance rather than an icy one. In bright daylight, Blissful Blue can look clean and airy, while lower or cooler light may draw out more of its blue-gray depth. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices where a pale color is wanted without the starkness of white. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a quiet, grounded contrast.

LRV of Blissful Blue
Blissful Blue has an LRV of 55.89% 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 55.89%, 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.
