What color is Sherwin Williams Opaline?
Sherwin Williams Opaline SW 6189 is a pale, softened green-gray with a lightly misted appearance. Its subtle green cast is tempered by a cool gray base, keeping it from reading overly pastel or minty. In bright daylight, Opaline can look nearly like an airy off-white, while lower or north-facing light brings out more of its muted gray-green character. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living room walls where a quiet color is wanted without using plain white. Pair it with warm oak, aged brass, creamy trim, and charcoal or deep olive accents for contrast. On cabinetry, this shade gives a gentle wash of color, especially alongside stone countertops with warm gray or soft beige veining.
LRV of Opaline
Opaline has an LRV of 73.05% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 73.05%, 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.
