What color is Sherwin Williams Lauren's Surprise?
Sherwin Williams Lauren's Surprise SW 6791 is a pale, airy blue with a noticeable blue-green cast that keeps it from reading like a straightforward baby blue. Its high lightness and soft saturation make it especially suited to walls in bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, or sunlit sitting areas. In cooler daylight, Lauren's Surprise can appear crisp and lightly aqua, while warm bulbs may bring out its gentle grayness and soften the blue. Pair it with clean white trim, pale oak, light maple, and brushed nickel for a fresh, uncluttered look. For more contrast, use deep navy, charcoal, or muted forest-green accents rather than overly bright colors.
LRV of Lauren's Surprise
Lauren's Surprise has an LRV of 75.94% and refers to Off‑White 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 75.94%, 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.
