What color is Sherwin Williams Aquacade?
Sherwin Williams Aquacade SW 7130 is a very light blue-green with a soft, misted appearance. Its pale mint cast keeps it cool and airy, while the high lightness prevents it from feeling sharp or overly icy. In daylight, this shade can read as a clean wash of green with a hint of aqua; lower or warmer light may soften its blue-green character. Aquacade suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, bedrooms, and sunlit kitchens where a quiet color is wanted without using plain white. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, light gray stone, or brushed nickel for a fresh, restrained palette.

LRV of Aquacade
Aquacade has an LRV of 84.05% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 84.05%, 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.
