What color is Sherwin Williams Dyer's Woad?

Sherwin Williams Dyer's Woad SW 9071 is a medium blue with a softened, slightly gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool character is clear, though the muted saturation gives it a grounded, usable look on broad walls. In daylight, this shade can appear airy and blue-forward; under warmer artificial light, its grayed quality becomes more noticeable. Try it in a bedroom, home office, or bath with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. Dyer's Woad also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or a front door when paired with lighter surrounding finishes.

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 30.19%, 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.
