What color is Sherwin Williams Drizzle?
Sherwin Williams Drizzle SW 6479 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a softened, mid-tone appearance. It reads cooler in bright daylight, where its blue and teal notes become clearer, while warmer bulbs can bring out its subdued gray-green side. Drizzle suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and laundry rooms where a colored wall is wanted without a sharp or overly saturated finish. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for contrast. It can also give kitchen cabinetry or a covered exterior door a calm, grounded dose of color.

LRV of Drizzle
Drizzle has an LRV of 38.91% 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 38.91%, 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.
