What color is Sherwin Williams Blue Nile?
Sherwin Williams Blue Nile SW 6776 is a rich blue-green teal with a cool cast and strong saturation. Its deep cyan character reads vivid and clean in daylight, while lower light can make it appear darker and more blue-leaning. This shade has enough depth for a dining room, powder room, or den, especially when paired with crisp white trim. On cabinetry or a painted island, Blue Nile brings clear color contrast against pale stone countertops and light oak. Brass, matte black, natural rattan, and warm terracotta accents give its cool intensity a grounded counterpoint.

LRV of Blue Nile
Blue Nile has an LRV of 12.5% 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 12.5%, 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.
