What color is Sherwin Williams Little Blue Box?
Sherwin Williams Little Blue Box SW 9044 is a light, softened blue-green with a clear minty cast. Its moderate brightness keeps it from reading icy, while the muted saturation gives it a gently weathered, airy appearance. In cool daylight, the blue side may come forward; warmer lamps can make its green undertone more noticeable. Use it on bathroom or bedroom walls for a fresh wash of color, or on cabinetry where its pale aqua character can stand out against warm white walls. Natural oak, pale limestone, brushed nickel, and clean white trim are especially fitting companions.

LRV of Little Blue Box
Little Blue Box has an LRV of 48.78% 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 48.78%, 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.
