What color is Sherwin Williams Marine?

Sherwin Williams Marine SW 9659 is a muted mid-tone green-gray with a soft, low-saturation appearance. Its gentle green cast is most noticeable in clear daylight, while lower or cooler light can make it read more gray and subdued. Marine has enough depth for full walls in a bedroom, study, or bathroom without making the room feel overly dark. Pair it with warm off-whites, natural oak, stone tile, and brushed brass for contrast against its restrained green undertone. It can also give cabinetry or an exterior door a quiet, weathered-looking color statement.

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 35.96%, 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.
