What color is Sherwin Williams Mosaic Tile?
Sherwin Williams Mosaic Tile SW 2938 is a deep, saturated blue-green with a distinctly cool cast. Its strong teal character reads clean and graphic in bright daylight, while lower light brings out a darker, more inky depth. Use Mosaic Tile on a powder room wall, built-in bookcase, or painted cabinet front when the room needs a concentrated hit of color. It pairs especially well with crisp white trim, pale gray stone, light oak, and brushed nickel or aged brass hardware. For a larger room, balance this shade with warm off-whites and natural wood so its bold blue-green presence does not overwhelm the space.

LRV of Mosaic Tile
Mosaic Tile has an LRV of 7.8% 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 7.8%, 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.
