What color is Sherwin Williams Rhythmic Blue?
Sherwin Williams Rhythmic Blue SW 6806 is a light, cool blue with a softened gray cast that keeps it from feeling overly sweet or icy. Its pale value gives walls an open, airy appearance, especially in bedrooms, bathrooms, and small spaces that benefit from more reflected light. In bright daylight, the blue reads clean and crisp; under warmer evening bulbs, its gray-blue side becomes more noticeable. Rhythmic Blue pairs nicely with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft charcoal accents. Use it across all four walls for a gentle wash of color, or on cabinetry for a quieter alternative to stronger navy tones.

LRV of Rhythmic Blue
Rhythmic Blue has an LRV of 68.92% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 68.92%, 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.
