What color is Sherwin Williams Dynamic Blue?
Sherwin Williams Dynamic Blue SW 6958 is a vivid, clean blue with a distinctly cool cast and enough intensity to read almost electric in strong daylight. It has little gray or green to soften it, so it brings a crisp, graphic look to a room rather than fading into the background. In a north-facing space, the color can feel sharper and slightly deeper, while warm lamps pull out a richer, more saturated blue after dark. Use it on a powder room wall, a painted bookcase, or a front door when a clear hit of color is wanted. Warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, brass, and terracotta accents keep the blue from feeling overly stark.

LRV of Dynamic Blue
Dynamic Blue has an LRV of 24.01% 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 24.01%, 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.
