What color is Sherwin Williams Delft?

Sherwin Williams Delft SW 9134 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a soft, weathered appearance rather than a bright coastal look. Its medium depth lets it read as a calm wash of color on walls while still providing more presence than a pale neutral. In north-facing rooms, Delft may appear cooler and grayer, while warm afternoon light can bring out more of its subdued green-blue character. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, mudrooms, or built-in cabinetry where a low-saturation color can add definition without making the surface feel heavy. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or natural linen for a grounded finish.

LRV of Delft

Delft has an LRV of 32.81% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 32.81%, 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.
