What color is Sherwin Williams Jamaica Bay?

Sherwin Williams Jamaica Bay SW 6781 is a clear, medium teal-blue with a noticeable green cast that keeps it bright rather than navy or icy. Its saturated color reads lively on a full wall, especially in bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or a playful dining area. In strong daylight, Jamaica Bay can look cleaner and more turquoise, while lower or warmer light may bring forward its deeper blue-green side. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale sand tones, light oak, or woven natural fibers to give the color room to stand out. For a bolder application, it makes an eye-catching choice for cabinetry, a painted front door, or an exterior accent against neutral siding.

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 30.25%, 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.
