What color is Sherwin Williams Breaktime?
Sherwin Williams Breaktime SW 6463 is a light, softened green with a noticeable blue-gray cast that keeps it from reading overly minty. Its pale value gives walls an airy look, while the muted saturation makes the color feel grounded rather than sugary. In bright daylight, Breaktime can show its cleanest blue-green side; lower or warmer lighting tends to bring out its gray undertone. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, or a quiet home office, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and linen textures. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal accents or deep navy details rather than sharp black.

LRV of Breaktime
Breaktime has an LRV of 65.92% 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 65.92%, 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.
