What color is Sherwin Williams Retiring Blue?
Sherwin Williams Retiring Blue SW 6763 is a very light blue-green with a clean, airy cast and a soft touch of gray. Its pale value keeps it from feeling heavy on broad walls, while the green-blue balance gives it more character than a plain off-white. In bright daylight, Retiring Blue can read crisp and lightly aqua; under warmer bulbs, it may appear gentler and slightly more muted. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, or a light-filled kitchen, especially alongside white trim, pale oak, honed marble, and brushed nickel. For contrast, pair this color with deep navy, charcoal, or natural woven textures rather than overly bright accents.

LRV of Retiring Blue
Retiring Blue has an LRV of 78.76% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 78.76%, 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.
