What color is Sherwin Williams Resonant Blue?

Sherwin Williams Resonant Blue SW 6954 is a bright, saturated blue with a clean cyan cast that keeps it crisp rather than inky. Its high color intensity makes it especially effective as an accent wall, painted front door, or bold cabinet finish. In strong daylight, this shade reads vivid and clear; lower or warmer indoor light can bring out a slightly greener blue character. Pair it with bright white trim for contrast, pale gray for a cooler scheme, or natural oak and woven textures to add warmth around its energetic color.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 29.52%, 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.
