What color is Sherwin Williams Aquaverde?
Sherwin Williams Aquaverde SW 9051 is a light, muted blue-green with a softly gray cast that keeps it from reading overly pastel. Its cool-leaning character can appear a little bluer in shaded or north-facing rooms, while warm daylight brings out more of its subdued green side. Aquaverde is light enough for full walls in bedrooms, bathrooms, or a calm home office, yet it also has enough presence for painted cabinetry. Pair it with crisp off-white trim, pale oak, limestone, and brushed nickel for a clean, natural look. For more contrast, use deep charcoal, inky navy, or dark bronze accents.

LRV of Aquaverde
Aquaverde has an LRV of 48.93% 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 48.93%, 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.
