What color is Sherwin Williams Jitterbug Jade?
Sherwin Williams Jitterbug Jade SW 6987 is a saturated blue-green with a jewel-toned depth that reads somewhere between deep teal and emerald. Its cool blue undertone becomes clearer in daylight, while warm lamps can pull out a slightly greener, richer cast in the evening. It has enough intensity for a powder room, dining room, or built-in cabinetry, where the color can hold its own without needing a large open space. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, walnut furniture, aged brass, or pale limestone to keep the room from feeling overly dark. On an exterior door or shutters, Jitterbug Jade brings a crisp hit of color against brick, cream siding, or weathered wood.

LRV of Jitterbug Jade
Jitterbug Jade has an LRV of 24.96% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 24.96%, 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.
