What color is Sherwin Williams Night Watch?
Sherwin Williams Night Watch SW 9680 is a deep, near-black charcoal with a cool blue-green cast visible beneath its dark surface. The low-light value gives it strong presence on cabinetry, interior doors, and accent walls, where it reads almost black from a distance. In brighter natural light, its muted teal-gray undertone becomes easier to notice, keeping the color from feeling flat. Pair it with warm white walls, pale oak, aged brass, or natural stone to bring out contrast and warmth. On an exterior, Night Watch can give shutters, trim, or a front door a crisp, grounded look against lighter siding.

LRV of Night Watch
Night Watch has an LRV of 3.54% 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 3.54%, 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.
