What color is Sherwin Williams Byte Blue?
Sherwin Williams Byte Blue SW 6498 is a light, airy blue with a soft blue-green cast and a cool overall temperature. Its pale value keeps it from reading too icy, while the muted saturation gives walls a washed, lightly weathered appearance rather than a bright aquatic look. In daylight, Byte Blue shows its clean blue character most clearly; under warmer lamps, its gray-green notes may become more noticeable. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and sunlit living areas where a gentle color is wanted without making the room feel dark. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, limestone, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Byte Blue
Byte Blue has an LRV of 68.4% 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 68.4%, 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.
