What color is Sherwin Williams Rapture Blue?
Sherwin Williams Rapture Blue SW 6773 is a light blue-green with a clear aqua cast and a softly muted, mid-light appearance. Its cool character is noticeable, though the grayed quality of the color keeps it from reading like a sharp tropical turquoise. In bright daylight, Rapture Blue can look cleaner and more airy, while lower or warmer indoor light may draw out its quieter blue-gray side. It suits bathroom walls, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or a painted built-in where a fresh wash of color is wanted without overwhelming the room. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, light concrete, brushed nickel, or sandy beige textiles for a grounded contrast.

LRV of Rapture Blue
Rapture Blue has an LRV of 46.82% 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 46.82%, 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.
