What color is Sherwin Williams Lakeshore?
Sherwin Williams Lakeshore SW 6494 is a medium blue-green with a softly muted, slightly gray cast. Its cool blue base is balanced by a noticeable teal influence, keeping it from reading like a primary blue. In bright natural light, Lakeshore looks clearer and more airy, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out its subdued, smoky depth. It makes a strong choice for bedroom or bathroom walls, a painted built-in, or an exterior door where a defined but not overly bright color is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale natural oak, weathered gray finishes, or deep charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Lakeshore
Lakeshore has an LRV of 26.77% 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 26.77%, 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.
