What color is Sherwin Williams Blue Mosque?
Sherwin Williams Blue Mosque SW 6789 is a saturated blue-teal with a distinctly cool cast and a noticeable green undertone. Its medium-deep value gives it enough weight for a dining room wall, built-in cabinetry, or a painted front door without reading overly dark. In bright daylight, Blue Mosque shows its clearer turquoise side, while lower or warmer lighting can make it appear deeper and more blue-green. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale sand tones, light oak, or brushed brass for contrast, or use charcoal and black accents for a sharper, more graphic look.

LRV of Blue Mosque
Blue Mosque has an LRV of 17.17% 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 17.17%, 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.
