What color is Sherwin Williams Scanda?
Sherwin Williams Scanda SW 6529 is a muted mid-tone blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright or coastal. Its cool blue character is softened by low saturation, giving walls a composed, slightly weathered appearance. In daylight, Scanda tends to show its clearer blue side, while lower or warmer artificial light can bring forward its subdued gray quality. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and studies, especially when paired with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, pale oak, or natural linen textures. On cabinetry or a single accent wall, this shade adds color without making the surface feel overly bold.

LRV of Scanda
Scanda has an LRV of 24.59% and refers to Medium 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 24.59%, 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.
