What color is Sherwin Williams Green Bay?

Sherwin Williams Green Bay SW 6481 is a deep, muted blue-green with a cool cast and enough grayness to keep it from reading overly bright. Its medium-dark value gives walls noticeable presence, especially in a dining room, powder room, home office, or moody bedroom. In bright daylight, Green Bay can show more of its green-teal character, while lower or warmer light brings out its smoky depth. It makes a strong choice for cabinetry or an accent wall when paired with soft warm whites, pale oak, brass, and natural linen. For more contrast, this shade also sits well beside clay-toned neutrals or light blush accents.

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 11.41%, 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.
