What color is Sherwin Williams Moody Blue?
Sherwin Williams Moody Blue SW 6221 is a muted blue-gray with a noticeable green cast, giving it the look of weathered sea glass rather than a crisp primary blue. Its medium depth keeps it present on a wall without making a room feel overly dark. In bright daylight, the gray-blue character is likely to read more clearly, while lower or warmer lighting can bring forward its softer green undertone. Moody Blue suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and built-in cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, linen textiles, and brushed brass hardware. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, inky navy, or natural terracotta accents.

LRV of Moody Blue
Moody Blue has an LRV of 26.52% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 26.52%, 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.
