What color is Sherwin Williams Bunglehouse Blue?
Sherwin Williams Bunglehouse Blue SW 0048 is a muted, medium-dark blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its blue-green lean gives the color a weathered slate quality, especially in daylight, while lower light can make it read deeper and more charcoal-blue. Use it on a study, dining room, mudroom cabinetry, or an exterior front door where its depth has room to stand out. Bunglehouse Blue pairs well with warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, and soft clay or sand-toned textiles. For a quieter scheme, combine this shade with pale gray-beige walls and matte black hardware.

LRV of Bunglehouse Blue
Bunglehouse Blue has an LRV of 11.29% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 11.29%, 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.
