What color is Sherwin Williams Celestial?
Sherwin Williams Celestial SW 6808 is a softened medium blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool blue character can appear a little cleaner in daylight, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its muted, smoky quality. Celestial suits bedroom, bathroom, or home office walls where a clear color is wanted without the intensity of a saturated sky blue. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a grounded, tailored look. It can also make a composed choice for painted cabinetry or a front door against light neutral siding.

LRV of Celestial
Celestial has an LRV of 43.52% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 43.52%, 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.
