What color is Sherwin Williams Vast Sky?
Sherwin Williams Vast Sky SW 6506 is a light, muted blue with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright. Its cool blue tone can look a little clearer in daylight, while lower or warmer artificial light tends to draw out its gentle grayness. This shade is well suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, or a ceiling where a pale blue feels more considered than plain white. Pair Vast Sky with crisp white trim, weathered oak, pale stone, brushed nickel, or deeper slate-blue accents. On exterior siding or shutters, it can provide a restrained wash of color against white, charcoal, or natural wood details.

LRV of Vast Sky
Vast Sky has an LRV of 54.92% 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 54.92%, 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.
