What color is Sherwin Williams Ebbtide?

Sherwin Williams Ebbtide SW 6493 is a softened blue-green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its mid-light depth gives walls clear color presence while maintaining an airy, open feel, especially in bathrooms, bedrooms, and sunlit living spaces. In cool daylight, Ebbtide can lean more blue, while warmer bulbs tend to bring out its gentle teal side. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, or brushed nickel for a clean, coastal-leaning palette. It also has enough color to make an appealing choice for a painted vanity, built-in shelving, or a front door.

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 41.21%, 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.
