What color is Sherwin Williams Distance?
Sherwin Williams Distance SW 6243 is a muted blue-gray with a cool, slate-like cast and moderate depth. Its softened color keeps it from reading as a bright navy, while the gray base gives walls a grounded, architectural look. In daylight, Distance tends to show more of its dusty blue character; lower or warmer lighting can make the gray side more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, offices, and bathrooms, and can also bring definition to cabinetry or an exterior front door. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale greige upholstery, weathered oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a restrained, layered palette.
LRV of Distance
Distance has an LRV of 15.19% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 15.19%, 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.
