What color is Sherwin Williams Dignity Blue?

Sherwin Williams Dignity Blue SW 6804 is a deep, saturated blue with a noticeable cool teal cast. Its dark value gives it an inky presence in low light, while brighter daylight brings out the clearer blue-green edge of the color. Use Dignity Blue on a study wall, powder room, built-in bookcases, or a front door when the room can handle a strong hit of color. Crisp white trim sharpens its clean blue character, while pale oak, weathered brass, and warm tan leather add needed contrast. For a quieter pairing, choose soft gray-blue textiles and light neutral walls rather than competing jewel tones.

LRV of Dignity Blue

Dignity Blue has an LRV of 6.39% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 6.39%, 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.
