What color is Sherwin Williams Blue Plate?

Sherwin Williams Blue Plate SW 6796 is a vivid, blue-green paint color with a crisp aquatic cast and noticeable saturation. It reads as a cool mid-tone blue, though its green influence becomes more apparent in bright daylight and alongside true navy shades. Use Blue Plate on a powder room wall, painted front door, or built-in shelving where its clear color can take center stage. White trim keeps the look sharp, while pale sand tones, light oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal provide grounded companions. In lower light, this shade can appear deeper and more blue-forward, making it especially effective as an accent rather than an all-over choice in dim rooms.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 16.67%, 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.
