What color is Sherwin Williams Rainstorm?
Sherwin Williams Rainstorm SW 6230 is a deep blue-green with a cool, shadowy cast and restrained saturation. Its dark teal character reads more blue in bright daylight, while lower or warmer light can bring out its green-gray edge. Use it on a study, powder room, or bedroom wall when you want strong color without a sharply vivid finish. Rainstorm also has enough depth for kitchen cabinetry, interior doors, or an exterior front door. Pair it with soft white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal, or warm stone for contrast that keeps the color grounded.

LRV of Rainstorm
Rainstorm has an LRV of 5.33% 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 5.33%, 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.
