What color is Sherwin Williams Revel Blue?
Sherwin Williams Revel Blue SW 6530 is a medium, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright or sporty. Its #4c6b8a color value gives it a cool, slightly softened presence, with enough depth to hold its own on a full wall. In daylight, Revel Blue can appear clearer and more blue-forward, while lower or warmer light may bring out its subdued slate quality. It suits bedrooms, home offices, and reading rooms, and can also make a measured statement on cabinetry or an exterior front door. Pair it with soft white trim, pale gray, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or warm natural linen for contrast without competing with the blue.

LRV of Revel Blue
Revel Blue has an LRV of 13.76% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13.76%, 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.
