What color is Sherwin Williams Interesting Aqua?
Sherwin Williams Interesting Aqua SW 6220 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a soft, weathered appearance rather than a bright tropical aqua look. Its cool undertone reads clean and airy in daylight, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out more of its subdued gray-blue side. This medium-light shade suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and built-ins where a calm wash of color is wanted without a high-saturation finish. Pair Interesting Aqua with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or warm sand-colored textiles for contrast. On larger walls, it has enough depth to be visible while still keeping the overall room light.

LRV of Interesting Aqua
Interesting Aqua has an LRV of 40.89% 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 40.89%, 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.
