What color is Sherwin Williams Wishful Blue?
Sherwin Williams Wishful Blue SW 6813 is a very light blue-gray with a cool, lightly softened cast. Its pale value keeps walls feeling open and airy, while the blue undertone is clear enough to read as color rather than plain gray. In bright daylight, Wishful Blue can look crisp and almost silvery; lower or warmer lighting may bring out its muted gray side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and ceilings, especially alongside white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or soft charcoal accents. For a quieter contrast, pair this shade with warm off-whites and natural linen textures.

LRV of Wishful Blue
Wishful Blue has an LRV of 71.79% 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 71.79%, 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.
