What color is Sherwin Williams Bluebell?
Sherwin Williams Bluebell SW 6793 is a light, clear blue with a noticeable airy cyan cast. Its high brightness keeps it from feeling heavy, while the cool undertone gives walls a crisp, open appearance in daylight. In north-facing rooms, Bluebell may read a little cooler and cleaner; warmer evening lighting can soften it toward a gentler sky-blue look. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and sunlit ceilings, especially alongside white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or soft sandy neutrals. For more contrast, pair this shade with deep navy details or charcoal accents rather than overly bright colors.

LRV of Bluebell
Bluebell has an LRV of 60.94% 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 60.94%, 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.
