What color is Sherwin Williams Blue Beyond?
Sherwin Williams Blue Beyond SW 6961 is a light, airy blue with a softly muted gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its cool character is clear, though the moderate softness in the color helps it feel easy on broad wall surfaces. In daylight, Blue Beyond can look clean and breezy, while lower or warmer interior lighting may bring out its grayer side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and sunlit living areas, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, or brushed nickel. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper navy accents, charcoal textiles, or warm tan leather.

LRV of Blue Beyond
Blue Beyond has an LRV of 45.12% 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 45.12%, 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.
