What color is Sherwin Williams Secure Blue?
Sherwin Williams Secure Blue SW 6508 is a medium blue with a softened, slightly gray cast that keeps it from reading too bright or sporty. Its cool blue character carries a gentle teal influence, especially in clear daylight, while lower light can make it appear more muted and slate-like. This shade has enough depth for a bedroom, bathroom, or study wall without making the room feel overly dark. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale gray flooring, weathered oak, or brushed nickel for a clean, coastal-leaning look. Secure Blue also makes a considered choice for cabinetry or a front door when surrounded by lighter neutrals.

LRV of Secure Blue
Secure Blue has an LRV of 22.38% 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 22.38%, 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.
