What color is Sherwin Williams Sky Fall?
Sherwin Williams Sky Fall SW 9049 is a clear, light blue with a cool, airy cast and enough color to read distinctly on the wall. Its #89c6df value suggests a blue softened by a slight aqua influence rather than a gray-heavy pastel. In bright daylight, Sky Fall can appear crisp and open, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out a gentler, slightly muted blue character. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, children’s spaces, or a breezy bedroom ceiling, and it can also make a clean accent on built-ins or porch details. Pair it with soft white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or deeper navy and charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Sky Fall
Sky Fall has an LRV of 50.83% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 50.83%, 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.
