What color is Sherwin Williams Breathtaking?
Sherwin Williams Breathtaking SW 6814 is a light, muted blue with a clear cool cast and a soft gray influence that keeps it from looking overly sweet. Its pale value gives walls an open, airy appearance, while the blue remains noticeable rather than fading into a near-white. In bright daylight, Breathtaking reads cleaner and slightly crisper; under warm evening bulbs, it can take on a gentler blue-gray look. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and ceilings where a light wash of color is wanted without strong contrast. Pair it with clean white trim, weathered oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or deeper navy textiles for definition.

LRV of Breathtaking
Breathtaking has an LRV of 63.19% 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 63.19%, 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.
