What color is Sherwin Williams Azure Tide?
Sherwin Williams Azure Tide SW 9684 is a medium-depth blue with a muted, gray-cast finish that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its #436585 color value suggests a cool blue character, with enough softness to feel grounded rather than crisp or nautical. In north-facing rooms, Azure Tide may appear more slate-like, while warmer afternoon light can bring out its quieter blue presence. It suits a study, bedroom, or dining room wall, and it can also give painted cabinetry a composed, substantial look. Pair it with soft white trim, weathered oak, charcoal accents, or pale stone surfaces for a measured, layered palette.

LRV of Azure Tide
Azure Tide has an LRV of 12.29% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 12.29%, 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.
