What color is Sherwin Williams Niebla Azul?
Sherwin Williams Niebla Azul SW 9137 is a pale blue-gray with a softly muted, low-saturation appearance. Its #b6c3c4 color value gives it a cool cast, though the noticeable gray content keeps it from reading like a bright or icy blue. In daylight, it can feel airy and lightly blue; under warmer bulbs, the gray aspect may become more prominent. Use it on bedroom, bathroom, or living room walls where a quiet, lightly colored backdrop is wanted. Niebla Azul also suits painted cabinetry or a front door when paired with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents.

What are Sherwin Williams Niebla Azul undertones?
Niebla Azul reads as a mid-light, very muted blue with a soft blue-green or teal-leaning cast rather than a clear, saturated blue. Its subtle green and blue bias is low-confidence in the supplied digital sample, so it may look closer to a cool gray-blue in some settings. Sherwin-Williams identifies it simply as a blue, which fits its overall visible color family without making a specific undertone claim. Warm artificial light may bring out its grayness or soften the blue-green cast, while cool daylight can make the blue and slight teal direction more noticeable.

LRV of Niebla Azul
Niebla Azul has an LRV of 52.91% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 52.91%, 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.
