What color is Sherwin Williams Bravo Blue?
Sherwin Williams Bravo Blue SW 6784 is a pale, airy blue with a slight blue-green cast visible in its soft aqua tint. Its high lightness keeps the color gentle on large wall areas, while the muted saturation prevents it from reading like a bright coastal turquoise. In daylight, Bravo Blue can appear clean and lightly watery; warmer artificial light may bring out a touch more of its green influence. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and ceiling applications, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale gray tile, light oak, or brushed nickel. For more contrast, pair this shade with deep navy accents or charcoal details rather than other equally pale blues.

LRV of Bravo Blue
Bravo Blue has an LRV of 77.01% and refers to Off‑White 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 77.01%, 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.
