Its medium-light depth gives walls noticeable color while maintaining an airy, gently weathered appearance. In daylight, Venus Teal can show its cooler teal side; under warmer artificial lighting, its gray-green qualities may become more apparent. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and painted built-ins, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or natural linen.

LRV of Venus Teal
Venus Teal has an LRV of 32.72% and refers to Medium 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 32.72%, 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.
