What color is Sherwin Williams Oceanside?
Sherwin Williams Oceanside SW 6496 is a deep blue-green with a strong teal cast and substantial saturation. Its dark value gives it real presence on cabinetry, a front door, or a single wall where a pale neutral might feel too plain. In brighter light, the blue-green character reads more clearly, while lower light can make it appear darker and more grounded. Pair Oceanside with crisp white trim, warm oak, natural woven textures, or muted sand-colored fabrics to bring out its color without making the room feel cold. It is especially effective in powder rooms, dining rooms, and built-in shelving where a concentrated hit of color can define the space.

LRV of Oceanside
Oceanside has an LRV of 7.87% 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 7.87%, 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.
