What color is Sherwin Williams Jetstream?
Sherwin Williams Jetstream SW 6492 is a light blue with a noticeable soft gray cast, giving it a clean, airy appearance without looking icy. Its blue-green lean is subtle, closer to a muted pool-water tone than a bright sky blue. In strong daylight, Jetstream can appear clearer and slightly brighter, while lower or warmer light brings out its quiet grayness. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and sunlit living spaces where a pale cool color can keep the walls from feeling stark. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for contrast, and use warm beige textiles if the room needs a little visual warmth.

LRV of Jetstream
Jetstream has an LRV of 59.96% 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 59.96%, 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.
