What color is Sherwin Williams Dutch Tile Blue?
Sherwin Williams Dutch Tile Blue SW 0031 is a muted blue-green gray with a soft, weathered cast rather than a bright coastal look. Its medium-light value and low saturation give walls gentle color without making the room feel heavily painted. In daylight, Dutch Tile Blue can read as a quiet blue-gray with a subtle green undertone, while warmer artificial light may bring out more of its grayness. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, bedrooms, and painted built-ins where a restrained wash of color is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or natural linen for a grounded finish.

What are Sherwin Williams Dutch Tile Blue undertones?
Dutch Tile Blue reads as a mid-light, very muted blue with a soft teal lean rather than a clear, bright blue. In the supplied digital sample, the subtle undertone bias appears slightly green and blue, which gives the color its gray-green cast; Sherwin-Williams officially categorizes it simply as a blue. Because the color is low in saturation, it can look more gray and subdued across larger walls. Warm artificial light may bring out a slightly softer, greener cast, while cool daylight may make its blue-teal character appear a bit clearer.

LRV of Dutch Tile Blue
Dutch Tile Blue has an LRV of 38.95% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 38.95%, 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.
