What color is Sherwin Williams Impromptu?
Sherwin Williams Impromptu SW 6955 is a saturated blue with a clear turquoise cast, sitting between a true blue and a lively cyan. Its cool, clean character is strongest in daylight, while lower or warmer lighting can make it read slightly deeper and more blue-forward. Use it on an accent wall, a powder room, or painted cabinetry when the room needs a concentrated hit of color. Crisp white trim keeps the shade graphic, while pale gray, sandy beige, light oak, and brushed nickel give it a more grounded setting. On an exterior door, Impromptu brings noticeable contrast against white, charcoal, or soft greige siding.

LRV of Impromptu
Impromptu has an LRV of 22.8% and refers to Medium 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 22.8%, 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.
