What color is Sherwin Williams Pool Blue?
Sherwin Williams Pool Blue SW 6944 is a light, airy blue-green with a distinctly cool cast and a softened, milky appearance. Its pale value keeps it from reading overly aquatic, while the green influence gives the blue a clean, water-washed character. In bright daylight, Pool Blue can look crisp and nearly pastel; in lower or cooler light, its blue side becomes more noticeable. It suits bathroom walls, laundry rooms, sunrooms, and bedrooms where a fresh color is wanted without much visual weight. Pair it with clean white trim, pale oak, light gray stone, or brushed nickel for a restrained, coastal-leaning palette.

LRV of Pool Blue
Pool Blue has an LRV of 70.3% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 70.3%, 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.
