What color is Sherwin Williams Mountain Air?
Sherwin Williams Mountain Air SW 6224 is a pale blue-green gray with a soft, misted appearance. Its low saturation keeps it light and airy, while the subtle green cast prevents it from reading as a plain cool gray. In bright daylight, Mountain Air can look cleaner and slightly bluer; under warmer bulbs, its gray-green side becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry rooms where a quiet wash of color is preferred over crisp white. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal details for contrast, and use natural linen or stone to reinforce its muted character.

LRV of Mountain Air
Mountain Air has an LRV of 73.21% and refers to Off‑White 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 73.21%, 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.
