What color is Sherwin Williams Moscow Midnight?

Sherwin Williams Moscow Midnight SW 9142 is a deep blue-green with a muted, shadowy cast that reads closer to teal than a straightforward navy. Its dark value gives walls a grounded presence, while the blue and green balance keeps it from feeling flat. In bright daylight, Moscow Midnight may show more of its blue-teal character; under lower or warmer lighting, it can appear deeper and more reserved. It suits a library, dining room, powder room, or exterior front door, and it also makes distinctive cabinetry when paired with pale stone countertops. Try it alongside warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or soft clay-colored textiles.

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 5.32%, 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.
