What color is Sherwin Williams Outerspace?
Sherwin Williams Outerspace SW 6251 is a deep, muted blue-gray with a cool, slate-like cast. Its low-saturation color keeps it grounded rather than bright, reading as a softened charcoal with blue present underneath. In daylight, the blue-gray character is more noticeable, while dim rooms can make it appear darker and closer to graphite. Use it on a study wall, built-in cabinetry, or an exterior front door when a substantial dark tone is wanted without pure black. It pairs well with crisp white trim, pale gray stone, weathered wood, brushed nickel, and warm leather accents.

LRV of Outerspace
Outerspace has an LRV of 11.64% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 11.64%, 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.
