What color is Sherwin Williams Languid Blue?
Sherwin Williams Languid Blue SW 6226 is a softened blue-gray with a cool, slightly muted cast. Its medium-light depth keeps it noticeable on walls without making a room feel overly dark or saturated. In bright daylight, the color reads as an airy dusty blue, while lower or cooler lighting can bring out more of its gray-blue character. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and home offices, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. Languid Blue can also make a calm statement on built-ins or cabinetry when paired with warm wood flooring and simple natural textiles.

LRV of Languid Blue
Languid Blue has an LRV of 45.62% 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 45.62%, 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.
