What color is Sherwin Williams Deep Sea Dive?

Sherwin Williams Deep Sea Dive SW 7618 is a deep, muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool, oceanic character can look more blue in lower light and show a clearer green-teal note in brighter natural daylight. This shade has enough depth for a dramatic dining room, study, or bedroom wall, while also giving kitchen or bath cabinetry a grounded color statement. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or cognac leather to bring out its richness. For a quieter scheme, layer it with soft gray-beige textiles and charcoal accents rather than competing saturated colors.

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 10.27%, 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.
