What color is Sherwin Williams Blue Chip?
Sherwin Williams Blue Chip SW 6959 is a clear, saturated medium blue with a crisp cool cast and just enough depth to keep it from reading like a primary-school blue. It has the punch of a well-worn cobalt enamel, making it especially effective on a front door, built-in shelving, a powder room vanity, or a single accent wall. In bright daylight, it looks lively and clean; in north-facing rooms or low light, it can settle into a deeper, inkier blue. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, brass hardware, or terracotta accents to give its strong color a grounded setting.

LRV of Blue Chip
Blue Chip has an LRV of 13.26% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13.26%, 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.
