What color is Sherwin Williams Stream?
Sherwin Williams Stream SW 6499 is a light, muted blue with a soft gray cast and a faint aqua influence. Its cool undertone is noticeable without making the color feel icy, giving it a clean but gently softened appearance on walls. In bright daylight, Stream reads clearer and airier, while lower or warmer lighting brings forward more of its gray-blue depth. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and airy living spaces, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or honed marble. Use this shade across full walls for a quiet wash of color or on cabinetry where its subdued blue tone can stand out against warm wood and creamy neutrals.

LRV of Stream
Stream has an LRV of 56.71% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 56.71%, 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.
