What color is Sherwin Williams Holiday Turquoise?
Sherwin Williams Holiday Turquoise SW 0075 is a light, softened turquoise with a clear blue-green cast and a gently muted finish. Its medium-light depth keeps it noticeable on a wall without feeling overly bright or sharp. In daylight, Holiday Turquoise reads as a fresh blue-green, while warmer artificial light can bring its greener side forward. It suits bathrooms, sunrooms, laundry rooms, or painted furniture, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale natural wood, brushed nickel, and warm off-white textiles. For a more defined contrast, pair this shade with deep navy, charcoal, or dark walnut accents.

LRV of Holiday Turquoise
Holiday Turquoise has an LRV of 49.38% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 49.38%, 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.
