What color is Sherwin Williams Festoon Aqua?

Sherwin Williams Festoon Aqua SW 0019 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it soft rather than bright. Its pale, moderately low-saturation appearance reads cool and airy, while the green undertone prevents it from feeling icy. In daylight, Festoon Aqua can look like a gentle wash of aqua, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring forward its subdued gray-green side. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and painted built-ins where a quiet color is wanted without using plain neutral gray. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for contrast.

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 46.62%, 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.
