What color is Sherwin Williams Undercool?
Sherwin Williams Undercool SW 6957 is a clear, light blue with a distinctly cool cast and enough color to stay visible on a full wall. Its airy blue character can read a little crisper in bright daylight, while lower or warmer light may soften its intensity without making it feel muted. Use Undercool in a bathroom, laundry room, sunroom, or child’s bedroom where a fresh blue backdrop suits the space. White trim keeps the look clean, while pale gray, navy, weathered wood, and brushed nickel offer grounded coordinating notes. It also makes a strong accent on a painted door, built-in shelving, or exterior shutters against a white or light neutral façade.

LRV of Undercool
Undercool has an LRV of 49.1% 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 49.1%, 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.
