What color is Sherwin Williams Adriatic Sea?
Sherwin Williams Adriatic Sea SW 6790 is a deep, saturated blue-teal with a distinctly cool cast. Its blue base is softened by a noticeable green influence, giving it more dimension than a straightforward navy. In bright daylight, Adriatic Sea can read clearer and more energetic, while lower light brings out its darker, inkier side. It makes a strong choice for an accent wall, powder room, front door, or built-in cabinetry, especially when balanced with crisp white trim and pale wood. Pair this shade with warm brass, natural linen, sandy beige, or light oak to keep its depth from making a room feel heavy.

LRV of Adriatic Sea
Adriatic Sea has an LRV of 9.22% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.22%, 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.
