What color is Sherwin Williams Krypton?
Sherwin Williams Krypton SW 6247 is a light, muted blue-gray with a distinctly cool cast and very little saturation. Its soft gray base keeps the blue from feeling bright, so it reads clean and understated on broad wall surfaces. In daylight, Krypton can show its blue-gray character more clearly, while warmer indoor lighting may soften it toward a quieter gray. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and airy living spaces, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. Use this shade on walls or cabinetry when a gentle cool contrast is wanted without introducing a strong color.

LRV of Krypton
Krypton has an LRV of 51.94% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 51.94%, 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.
