What color is Sherwin Williams Peacock Plume?

Sherwin Williams Peacock Plume SW 0020 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a softened, medium-depth appearance. Its balance of teal and cool gray keeps it from reading overly bright, while still bringing clear color to a room. In daylight, Peacock Plume can show more of its blue-green character; lower or warmer lighting may emphasize its subdued gray side. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, built-in cabinetry, and accent walls, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or charcoal details. Pair it with creamy neutrals for contrast or deeper navy and forest-toned accents for a layered palette.

LRV of Peacock Plume

Peacock Plume has an LRV of 27.47% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

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 27.47%, 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.
