What color is Sherwin Williams Mariner?
Sherwin Williams Mariner SW 6766 is a clear, light aqua with a noticeable blue-green cast and a fresh, cool appearance. Its medium-light depth keeps it colorful without feeling heavy, making it especially effective in bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or a child’s room. In bright daylight, Mariner can read cleaner and closer to turquoise, while lower or cooler light may bring forward its bluer side. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale gray tile, sandy beige linens, or light natural wood to keep the look grounded. For a bolder application, use this color on lower cabinets, a painted vanity, or a front door against a white or soft neutral exterior.

LRV of Mariner
Mariner has an LRV of 45.74% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 45.74%, 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.
