What color is Sherwin Williams Icelandic?
Sherwin Williams Icelandic SW 6526 is a light, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it soft rather than sugary. Its cool undertone reads clearest in daylight, while warmer evening lighting can make the color appear more subdued and silvery. Icelandic is well suited to bedroom, bathroom, or home office walls where a pale blue-gray backdrop feels clean and understated. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for a restrained contrast. It can also bring a quiet wash of color to cabinetry or a covered exterior porch.

LRV of Icelandic
Icelandic has an LRV of 67.48% 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 67.48%, 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.
