What color is Sherwin Williams Sporty Blue?
Sherwin Williams Sporty Blue SW 6522 is a medium, muted blue with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool blue base can appear a little softer and more weathered in low light, while daylight brings out its cleaner blue character. It makes a strong choice for bedroom walls, a home office, or built-in cabinetry where a measured amount of color is wanted. Pair Sporty Blue with soft white trim, pale gray-beige textiles, natural oak, or brushed nickel for a grounded palette. On an exterior, this shade can suit shutters or a front door against warm white or light stone siding.

LRV of Sporty Blue
Sporty Blue has an LRV of 23.92% 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 23.92%, 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.
