What color is Sherwin Williams Larchmere?

Sherwin Williams Larchmere SW 6752 is a medium-light aqua green with a cool, softly muted cast. Its blend of green and blue gives it enough color for a feature wall or painted cabinet, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading overly bright. In daylight, Larchmere can appear clearer and fresher; under warmer interior bulbs, its green side may come forward slightly. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, and kitchen cabinetry, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or matte charcoal accents. For a more grounded look, pair this shade with warm off-whites and medium wood finishes rather than icy blue-grays.

LRV of Larchmere

Larchmere has an LRV of 41.14% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

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 41.14%, 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.
