What color is Sherwin Williams Embellished Blue?
Sherwin Williams Embellished Blue SW 6749 is a very light blue-green with a soft, slightly minty cast. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the green influence prevents it from reading like a conventional baby blue. In clear daylight, Embellished Blue can look fresh and cool; under warmer bulbs, it shifts toward a gentler, muted aqua. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and sunlit kitchens, especially alongside warm white trim, light oak, brushed nickel, or natural linen. For more contrast, pair this color with deep charcoal, inky blue, or black hardware.

What are Sherwin Williams Embellished Blue undertones?
Embellished Blue is a near-white, very muted green-tinted off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle green bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear green. Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

LRV of Embellished Blue
Embellished Blue has an LRV of 79.04% and refers to Off‑White 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 79.04%, 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.
