What color is Sherwin Williams Poolhouse?

Sherwin Williams Poolhouse SW 7603 is a muted mid-tone blue-gray with a cool, lightly softened cast. Its gray base keeps the blue from feeling bright, while the slight green influence in the color gives it a weathered, mineral-like quality. In daylight, Poolhouse can read as a calm slate blue; under warmer bulbs, its gray component becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices where a clear but restrained wall color is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or sandy beige textiles for contrast.

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 28.57%, 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.
