What color is Sherwin Williams Blue Sky?
Sherwin Williams Blue Sky SW 0063 is a light, softened blue-green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading too bright or sugary. Its cool aqua base can appear a little greener in warm afternoon light and cleaner, bluer under cooler daylight. Blue Sky is especially suited to bathroom walls, a breezy laundry room, or a bedroom where a pale color is wanted without using plain white. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, and brushed nickel for a clear, understated palette. On cabinetry or a small exterior detail, this shade brings more color than a neutral while remaining low in saturation.

LRV of Blue Sky
Blue Sky has an LRV of 58.56% 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 58.56%, 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.
