Sherwin Williams

Meditative

SW 6227

Meditative is a soft cool blue with gray undertones, carrying an LRV of 38 that positions it in the mid-tone range. The gray undertone mutes the blue substantially, producing a color that reads as a dusty steel-blue rather than a clean primary blue. It is well suited for bedrooms, offices, and reading areas where reduced visual stimulation is preferred.

Sherwin-Williams Extra White, Agreeable Gray, Uncertain Gray, and Krypton work as coordinating selections. South-facing rooms will warm its gray cast slightly, while north-facing walls amplify the cooler slate character.

Meditative in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
