What color is Sherwin Williams Gentle Aquamarine?
Sherwin Williams Gentle Aquamarine SW 9046 is a light blue-green with a clear aqua cast and a softly muted finish. Its cool character is noticeable, though the moderate saturation keeps it from reading overly bright or icy on large walls. In daylight, Gentle Aquamarine shows its clean blend of blue and green; under warmer bulbs, it can appear a little softer and grayer. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or bedrooms where a fresh wash of color is wanted without making the room feel dark. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or deeper navy accents for contrast.

LRV of Gentle Aquamarine
Gentle Aquamarine has an LRV of 54.05% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 54.05%, 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.
