Sherwin Williams

Porch Ceiling

SW 9063

Porch Ceiling is a medium-light, cool blue with subtle lavender-purple undertones that soften its overall appearance. With an LRV of 53, it reflects a moderate amount of light and maintains enough color saturation to read clearly as blue on walls and ceilings. Traditionally used on porch ceilings in Southern architecture, it also works in bedrooms, bathrooms, sunrooms, and laundry rooms where a cool tone is desired.

The lavender undertone becomes more visible in warm artificial lighting. It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Misty for a muted tonal pairing, Gale Force as a deeper navy accent, Sea Salt for a green-blue companion, and Extra White for clean trim contrast.

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.
