What color is Sherwin Williams Down Pour?
Sherwin Williams Down Pour SW 6516 is a medium blue with a muted, slightly gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool blue character can show a subtle teal lean in daylight, while lower or warmer light makes it appear deeper and more subdued. Down Pour has enough depth for a study, dining room, or bedroom wall, yet it can also make a distinctive statement on kitchen cabinetry or a painted front door. Pair it with soft off-whites, pale gray-blue tones, weathered wood, and brushed nickel for a clean, grounded look. For more contrast, this shade stands out beautifully beside warm terracotta, natural leather, or light oak.
LRV of Down Pour
Down Pour has an LRV of 14.95% 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 14.95%, 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.
