What color is Sherwin Williams Frank Blue?

Sherwin Williams Frank Blue SW 6967 is a clear, high-energy blue that lands somewhere between classic royal blue and a bright summer-sky shade. It has a crisp, cool cast with very little gray, so it reads bold rather than muted on the wall. In strong daylight, the color can look especially vivid and clean; under warm evening bulbs, it takes on a slightly richer, more saturated appearance. Frank Blue is best used where a concentrated hit of color makes sense—on a front door, built-in shelving, a powder room vanity, or one wall in a playroom or creative workspace. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, brass hardware, or black accents to give its brightness some structure.

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 8.19%, 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.
