What color is Sherwin Williams Raging Sea?
Sherwin Williams Raging Sea SW 6474 is a muted, medium-dark green with a noticeable blue cast that gives it a cool, mineral-like character. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly bright, while the depth gives walls and cabinetry clear definition. In bright daylight, this shade can show more of its softened green side; lower or warmer light tends to bring forward its deeper teal-gray appearance. Raging Sea is especially effective on kitchen cabinets, built-ins, powder room walls, or a dining room accent wall. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal, and natural linen for contrast without competing with the color.

LRV of Raging Sea
Raging Sea has an LRV of 13.7% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13.7%, 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.
