What color is Sherwin Williams Little Boy Blu?

Sherwin Williams Little Boy Blu SW 9054 is a light, softened blue with a noticeable gray-green cast that keeps it from reading like a bright nursery blue. Its high lightness makes it a gentle wall color for bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, or a breezy living area. In cooler daylight, Little Boy Blu can appear cleaner and slightly more blue, while warm bulbs may bring out its muted green-gray side. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed nickel for a fresh, lightly coastal look. It can also give cabinetry or a painted ceiling a subtle wash of color without making the surface feel heavy.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 66.6%, 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.
