What color is Sherwin Williams Glass Bead?
Sherwin Williams Glass Bead SW 6805 is a very light blue-gray with a clean, slightly cool cast. Its low saturation keeps the color airy and understated rather than noticeably blue, especially across large wall areas. In bright daylight, Glass Bead can read close to a pale misty gray, while lower or cooler light may bring out more of its blue presence. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and light-filled living spaces where a soft, quiet backdrop is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or deeper charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Glass Bead
Glass Bead has an LRV of 77.49% 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 77.49%, 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.
