What color is Sherwin Williams Dazzle?
Sherwin Williams Dazzle SW 6962 is a mid-tone blue with a clear, lightly softened character rather than a deep navy intensity. Its cool blue presence can read brighter and cleaner in daylight, while warmer evening lighting may bring out a slightly calmer, less crisp look. Use it on a bedroom or bathroom wall for noticeable color without making the room feel overly dark. Dazzle also suits painted cabinetry, a front door, or built-in shelving when paired with warm white trim, pale gray, natural oak, or brushed brass hardware. For a stronger contrast, combine this shade with charcoal accents or deep blue-black details.

LRV of Dazzle
Dazzle has an LRV of 22.47% 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 22.47%, 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.
