What color is Sherwin Williams Cape Verde?
Sherwin Williams Cape Verde SW 6482 is a deep blue-green with a cool, oceanic cast and substantial saturation. Its dark value gives it weight on a wall, while the green keeps it from reading as a standard navy. In bright daylight, Cape Verde can show clearer teal character; lower or warmer light tends to make it appear darker and more dramatic. It has enough presence for a dining room, powder room, library, or a run of painted kitchen cabinetry. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale wood, aged brass, black hardware, or natural stone with warm beige veining to give the color contrast and texture.

LRV of Cape Verde
Cape Verde has an LRV of 6.8% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 6.8%, 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.
