What color is Sherwin Williams Liquid Blue?
Sherwin Williams Liquid Blue SW 6779 is a light, airy blue with a noticeable aqua cast that keeps it from reading like a traditional powder blue. Its cool, softly muted appearance can look a little cleaner and brighter in daylight, while lower or warmer light may bring out its gentler blue-green side. Use it on bedroom or bathroom walls for a clear wash of color, or on a porch ceiling where its pale tone will not feel heavy overhead. Liquid Blue pairs well with crisp white trim, light oak, pale maple, brushed nickel, and sandy beige textiles. For more contrast, add charcoal accents or deep navy details rather than competing mid-tone blues.

LRV of Liquid Blue
Liquid Blue has an LRV of 60.22% 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 60.22%, 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.
