What color is Sherwin Williams Marea Baja?
Sherwin Williams Marea Baja SW 9185 is a deep, muted blue with a noticeable blue-green cast and a softly grayed finish. Its low-light depth makes it read as a dark coastal slate tone, while brighter daylight brings out more of its cool teal influence. Marea Baja has enough saturation for cabinetry, a front door, or a painted accent wall, but it can also create a cocooning effect across all four walls in a study or dining room with good natural light. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and sandy beige textiles to offset its cool, shaded character. Against charcoal or crisp white, this shade takes on a cleaner, more graphic appearance.
LRV of Marea Baja
Marea Baja has an LRV of 7.78% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 7.78%, 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.
