What color is Sherwin Williams Minor Blue?
Sherwin Williams Minor Blue SW 6792 is a light, airy blue with a noticeable aqua cast that keeps it from reading like a standard pastel sky blue. Its high lightness gives walls a clean, open appearance, while the soft green-blue undertone adds a hint of coastal color without becoming bright or tropical. In daylight, Minor Blue can look crisp and lightly washed; under warmer lamps, it may appear gentler and slightly more muted. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or a bedroom where a pale color is wanted without the starkness of white. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for contrast, or use it alongside sandy beige textiles for a softer finish.
LRV of Minor Blue
Minor Blue has an LRV of 68.44% 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 68.44%, 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.
