What color is Sherwin Williams Georgian Revival Blue?
Sherwin Williams Georgian Revival Blue SW 7609 is a muted mid-tone blue with a noticeable blue-green cast and a softened gray quality. Its moderate depth gives it enough presence for a full room without reading as overly dark or sharp. In bright natural light, this color can show its clearer teal-blue side, while lower light tends to bring out its quieter, grayer character. It suits bathroom walls, a dining room, built-in shelving, or exterior shutters where a composed blue is wanted. Pair Georgian Revival Blue with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or creamy stone for contrast that keeps the blue in focus.

LRV of Georgian Revival Blue
Georgian Revival Blue has an LRV of 23.8% 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 23.8%, 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.
