What color is Sherwin Williams Mediterranean?
Sherwin Williams Mediterranean SW 7617 is a muted blue-gray with a subtle green cast, giving it the look of weathered slate rather than a bright coastal blue. Its medium depth keeps it grounded on large walls, especially in living rooms, bedrooms, or a home office. In bright daylight, the blue-green notes become clearer, while lower or warmer lighting can make the gray side feel more prominent. Pair Mediterranean with soft white trim, charcoal details, pale oak, or brushed nickel for a clean, restrained palette. It also has enough presence for painted cabinetry, an exterior front door, or an accent wall behind natural wood furniture.
LRV of Mediterranean
Mediterranean has an LRV of 17.54% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 17.54%, 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.
