What color is Sherwin Williams Blueblood?
Sherwin Williams Blueblood SW 6966 is a bold, saturated royal blue with a clean, slightly cool cast rather than a dusty or gray undertone. It has the punch of a classic school-uniform blue, so it reads clearly even on a small surface. In bright daylight, Blueblood can look lively and almost electric, while warm lamps pull out a deeper, inkier side. It is especially effective on a front door, built-in shelving, a powder room vanity, or one well-defined accent wall rather than throughout a large room. Pair it with crisp warm white, pale oak, walnut, brushed brass, or natural linen to keep its strong color from feeling too sharp.

LRV of Blueblood
Blueblood has an LRV of 7.16% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.16%, 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.
