What color is Sherwin Williams Respite?
Sherwin Williams Respite SW 6514 is a muted blue with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a soft, lightly weathered appearance rather than a bright coastal-blue look. Its cool character is tempered by enough softness to keep larger wall areas from feeling sharp. In daylight, the color reads as an airy blue-gray, while lower or warmer artificial light can bring out its subdued, smoky side. Respite suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living rooms, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents. Use it on walls for a calm wash of color, or on cabinetry where its restrained blue tone can add definition without dominating the room.

LRV of Respite
Respite has an LRV of 43.05% 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 43.05%, 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.
