What color is Sherwin Williams Gulfstream?
Sherwin Williams Gulfstream SW 6768 is a saturated blue-green teal with a clearly cool, aquatic cast. Its color value, #01858b, gives it enough depth to read boldly on a feature wall while retaining a crisp, clean edge in bright daylight. In lower light, Gulfstream can appear deeper and slightly bluer, whereas sunny rooms bring forward its lively turquoise-green character. It suits powder rooms, laundry rooms, covered porches, and painted cabinetry where a strong hit of color feels intentional. Pair it with warm white trim, pale sand tones, light oak, woven natural fibers, or brushed brass to add contrast without competing with the shade.

LRV of Gulfstream
Gulfstream has an LRV of 18.39% 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 18.39%, 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.
