What color is Sherwin Williams Aquatint?
Sherwin Williams Aquatint SW 6936 is a light, clean aqua with a noticeable mint-green cast and a cool overall temperature. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the blue-green color remains clear enough to read as more than an off-white. In bright daylight, Aquatint can look fresh and lightly watery; lower or warmer lighting may bring out its softer green side. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, and children’s spaces, especially with crisp white trim and pale oak. Pair it with warm white, sandy beige, natural linen, or brushed nickel to give the cool color some visual grounding.

LRV of Aquatint
Aquatint has an LRV of 72.66% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 72.66%, 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.
