What color is Sherwin Williams Grand Canal?
Sherwin Williams Grand Canal SW 6488 is a mid-depth blue-green with a distinctly cool cast and a softly muted, mineral-like finish. Its teal character is clear, though the grayness in the color keeps it from reading overly bright or tropical. In daylight, Grand Canal can show more of its blue side, while warmer evening lighting may draw out a gentler green undertone. It has enough depth for a dining room, powder room, or study wall, and it also makes a grounded choice for painted cabinetry. Pair it with soft white trim, pale gray stone, light oak, or aged brass for contrast without competing with the color.

LRV of Grand Canal
Grand Canal has an LRV of 16.22% 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 16.22%, 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.
