What color is Sherwin Williams Iceberg?
Sherwin Williams Iceberg SW 6798 is a very light, cool blue with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or pastel. Its faint blue-green tint is most noticeable in daylight, while lower or warmer light can make it appear closer to a muted, silvery blue-gray. Iceberg has enough brightness for walls in bathrooms, bedrooms, or sunlit living spaces without making the room feel stark. Pair it with crisp white trim for a clean contrast, or use pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal details to bring out its cooler side. This shade also suits painted cabinetry or a porch ceiling when a subtle wash of color is preferred over a stronger blue.

LRV of Iceberg
Iceberg has an LRV of 75.68% 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 75.68%, 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.
