What color is Sherwin Williams Hyper Blue?
Sherwin Williams Hyper Blue SW 6965 is a vivid, high-energy blue with a clear cool cast and very little gray to soften it. It reads like the saturated blue of a clear summer sky at its brightest, making it best suited to places that can handle a strong hit of color: a powder room, kids’ room, painted bookcase, or a single feature wall. In bright daylight, it looks especially electric, while warm lamps can pull out a faint violet edge in the evening. Pair it with crisp warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, or brass hardware to keep the room grounded. For a bolder scheme, Hyper Blue looks sharp beside chartreuse accents, deep navy, or a small amount of terracotta.
LRV of Hyper Blue
Hyper Blue has an LRV of 9.62% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.62%, 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.
