What color is Sherwin Williams Faraway Blue?

Sherwin Williams Faraway Blue SW 7133 is an exceptionally light blue with a cool, misty cast and a soft blue-green edge. Its high brightness keeps walls looking open and airy, while the subtle color prevents it from reading as plain white. In daylight, Faraway Blue can appear almost icy and clean; under warmer evening lighting, its gentle grayness becomes more apparent. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and ceilings where a faint wash of cool color feels appropriate. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale natural wood, brushed nickel, or deeper slate-blue accents for definition.

LRV of Faraway Blue

Faraway Blue has an LRV of 84.09% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all light. Why LRV is important?

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 84.09%, 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.
