What color is Sherwin Williams Aquitaine?

Sherwin Williams Aquitaine SW 9057 is a muted blue with a noticeable blue-green cast and a soft gray veil that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its mid-tone depth gives walls clear color presence without making a room feel heavy. In daylight, Aquitaine can look like a weathered coastal blue, while cooler artificial lighting may pull forward its grayer, slightly teal side. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and laundry rooms particularly well, and can also make a calm statement on kitchen cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and charcoal accents for a grounded contrast.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 37.7%, 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.
