What color is Sherwin Williams Notable Hue?
Sherwin Williams Notable Hue SW 6521 is a muted blue with a clear gray cast, giving it a soft, weathered appearance rather than a bright nautical look. Its cool character is noticeable, though the moderate lightness keeps it from feeling icy on broad walls. In daylight, Notable Hue reads as a dusty blue-gray; under warmer artificial light, its gray side becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices, and built-in cabinetry where a quiet wash of color is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or warm tan linens to bring out its balanced blue-gray depth.

LRV of Notable Hue
Notable Hue has an LRV of 36.69% 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 36.69%, 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.
