What color is Sherwin Williams Meditative?

Sherwin Williams Meditative SW 6227 is a muted blue-gray with a light cool cast and a subtle green influence beneath its softened surface. Its mid-light value gives it enough presence for full walls without making a room feel dark or heavily saturated. In cooler daylight, Meditative can read cleaner and more blue, while warmer evening lighting tends to bring out its gray side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices, especially alongside crisp off-white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or matte black hardware. For more contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal textiles or natural linen in warm beige.

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 38.27%, 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.
