What color is Sherwin Williams Hinting Blue?
Sherwin Williams Hinting Blue SW 6519 is a light, muted blue-gray with a cool cast and soft, misty appearance. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly sweet or pastel, making it a useful wall color for bedrooms, bathrooms, and airy living spaces. In bright daylight, Hinting Blue shows its clean blue side, while warmer artificial light can bring out more of its gray softness. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a restrained, layered look. This shade is especially well suited to broad wall applications, where its subtle color shift can add interest without taking over the room.

LRV of Hinting Blue
Hinting Blue has an LRV of 67.74% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 67.74%, 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.
