What color is Sherwin Williams Brooklet?
Sherwin Williams Brooklet SW 7131 is a very pale green-gray with a cool, lightly misted appearance. Its soft green cast is subtle rather than saturated, so it can read close to off-white in bright daylight while showing more of its muted color on larger wall areas. Brooklet suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and kitchens where a clean but not stark backdrop is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal details to bring out its quiet coolness. On cabinetry, this shade is best used in well-lit spaces, where its low depth keeps the finish looking airy rather than heavy.

LRV of Brooklet
Brooklet has an LRV of 84.87% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 84.87%, 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.
