What color is Sherwin Williams Intense Teal?

Sherwin Williams Intense Teal SW 6943 is a saturated blue-green with a strong, cool presence and just enough green to keep it from reading as straightforward navy. It can look almost jewel-like in bright daylight, while lower light brings out its deeper blue side. In a north-facing room, this shade may feel especially crisp and dramatic, so it is often most effective on a focal wall, built-in bookcases, or lower cabinetry rather than every surface. Pair it with soft warm white walls, natural oak, woven linen, and brushed brass to give the color room to breathe. It also holds up well beside terracotta tile, creamy stone, and dark walnut, where its vivid teal character feels grounded rather than overly sharp.

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 13.7%, 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.
