What color is Sherwin Williams Dustblu?
Sherwin Williams Dustblu SW 9161 is a muted blue-gray with a cool, lightly weathered cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overtly blue, so it can appear closer to a soft medium gray in dim rooms or under warm artificial light. In brighter daylight, the blue undertone becomes clearer and gives the color a clean, airy look. Dustblu suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices, especially on full walls where its restrained depth can settle into the background. Pair it with crisp white trim, charcoal details, pale oak, brushed nickel, or matte black hardware for a grounded finish.

LRV of Dustblu
Dustblu has an LRV of 32.33% 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 32.33%, 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.
