What color is Sherwin Williams Georgian Bay?
Sherwin Williams Georgian Bay SW 6509 is a deep, blue-green paint color with a clear coastal cast and moderate saturation. Its teal undertone keeps the blue from feeling overly formal, while the depth gives it enough presence for a dining room, study, or powder room. In bright daylight, Georgian Bay reads cleaner and slightly bluer; lower or warmer light can bring out more of its green-leaning character. It makes a strong choice for cabinetry or a single accent wall when paired with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, or aged brass hardware. For a more grounded palette, combine this shade with soft sand, muted clay, or charcoal-gray details.
LRV of Georgian Bay
Georgian Bay has an LRV of 11.19% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 11.19%, 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.
