What color is Sherwin Williams Outrigger?
Sherwin Williams Outrigger SW 9517 is a deep, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly nautical or bright. In strong daylight, its blue side comes forward, while north-facing rooms can make it look cooler and more slate-like. Warm lamps and evening sun soften the shade, bringing out a subtle inky depth. Use Outrigger on a study, dining room, built-in shelving, or kitchen island where a darker color can give the architecture more definition. It pairs well with warm white trim, weathered oak, aged brass, natural linen, and soft sand or mushroom-toned furnishings.

LRV of Outrigger
Outrigger has an LRV of 45.1% 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 45.1%, 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.
