What color is Sherwin Williams Cloudburst?
Sherwin Williams Cloudburst SW 6487 is a medium-depth blue-green with a softened, slightly muted presence rather than a bright tropical teal. Its #5c9598 value suggests a cool-leaning color, though the green note keeps it from reading strictly blue. In daylight, Cloudburst can show its clear blue-green character, while warmer artificial light may make it appear a little grayer and more subdued. It has enough color for a full bathroom, bedroom, or study wall, and it also makes a strong choice for painted cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, and charcoal or deep navy accents for contrast.

LRV of Cloudburst
Cloudburst has an LRV of 26.04% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 26.04%, 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.
