What color is Sherwin Williams Bora Bora Shore?
Sherwin Williams Bora Bora Shore SW 9045 is a light, clean blue-green with an even balance of aqua and soft cyan. Its cool cast is clear in daylight, where the color reads fresh and watery rather than heavily blue or green. In rooms with warm artificial light, Bora Bora Shore can look a little gentler and more muted. It suits bathroom walls, laundry rooms, sunlit bedrooms, or a painted ceiling where a pale wash of color is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, light oak, pale sand tones, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for contrast.
LRV of Bora Bora Shore
Bora Bora Shore has an LRV of 55.86% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 55.86%, 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.
