What color is Sherwin Williams Cloudless?
Sherwin Williams Cloudless SW 6786 is a clear, light aqua-blue with a distinctly cool cast and a soft, water-like brightness. Its blue-green character is noticeable without becoming overly intense, giving the color enough presence for a full room or a painted accent wall. In bright daylight, Cloudless can read fresher and more cyan-leaning, while lower or warmer lighting may soften its crispness slightly. It suits bathrooms, sunrooms, children’s rooms, or porch ceilings where a clean splash of color feels appropriate. Pair it with bright white trim, pale gray stone, light oak, woven natural fibers, or deeper navy accents for contrast.
LRV of Cloudless
Cloudless has an LRV of 56.15% 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 56.15%, 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.
