What color is Sherwin Williams Aquastone?
Sherwin Williams Aquastone SW 9043 is a light-to-mid-tone aqua green with a noticeable blue cast and softened grayness. Its #89c6b7 color value gives it a clean, watery appearance without reading as a bright turquoise. In cool daylight, the blue-green character may come forward, while warmer artificial light can make it appear slightly greener. Use Aquastone on bedroom, bathroom, or laundry room walls for a clear wash of color, or on cabinetry paired with warm white walls and pale oak. Matte black hardware, brushed nickel, white tile, and natural woven textures provide grounded contrast.

LRV of Aquastone
Aquastone has an LRV of 49.25% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 49.25%, 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.
