What color is Sherwin Williams Sky High?
Sherwin Williams Sky High SW 6504 is a very light blue with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or pastel. Its pale, cool appearance can look slightly icier in north-facing rooms, while warmer daylight brings out a cleaner blue-green hint. Use it on bedroom, bath, or laundry-room walls when you want color that still leaves the room feeling open. Sky High pairs neatly with crisp white trim, light oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents. It is best suited to broad wall areas or a subtle ceiling color rather than high-contrast cabinetry.

LRV of Sky High
Sky High has an LRV of 78.33% and refers to Off‑White 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 78.33%, 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.
