What color is Sherwin Williams Upward?
Sherwin Williams Upward SW 6239 is a light, muted blue-gray with a cool, airy cast. Its soft gray influence keeps the blue from reading overly sweet or bright, giving it a restrained look on broad wall surfaces. In daylight, this color can appear clearer and slightly bluer, while lower or warmer indoor lighting may bring its silvery gray side forward. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices, and ceilings where a pale color can add definition without making the room feel heavy. Pair Upward with crisp white trim, charcoal accents, pale wood, brushed nickel, or natural linen for a clean, grounded palette.

LRV of Upward
Upward has an LRV of 57.4% 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 57.4%, 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.
