What color is Sherwin Williams Blustery Sky?
Sherwin Williams Blustery Sky SW 9140 is a muted mid-tone blue-gray with a distinctly cool cast and a lightly weathered appearance. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading as bright blue, making it a grounded option for bedroom, bath, or home office walls. In daylight, Blustery Sky shows its blue character more clearly, while warm indoor lighting can bring forward its gray side. Pair this shade with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a clean, restrained palette. It also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or an exterior door when a dark navy would feel too heavy.

LRV of Blustery Sky
Blustery Sky has an LRV of 21.71% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 21.71%, 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.
