What color is Sherwin Williams Blue Peacock?

Sherwin Williams Blue Peacock SW 0064 is a deep blue-green with a pronounced teal cast and strong saturation. Its low-value #014e4c base gives it a shadowy, almost inky presence, especially in rooms with limited natural light. Blue Peacock can read cooler and bluer beside crisp white trim, while warm woods and brass bring forward its green side. Use it on a dining room wall, built-in cabinetry, a powder room, or an exterior door where its depth can act as a clear focal point. Pair this color with warm ivory, soft sand, natural oak, aged brass, or muted terracotta for contrast against its cool, dark character.

LRV of Blue Peacock

Blue Peacock has an LRV of 5.83% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

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 5.83%, 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.
