What color is Sherwin Williams Really Teal?
Sherwin Williams Really Teal SW 6489 is a deep, saturated blue-green with a cool lean and a noticeable inky quality. Its near-black red value gives it strong depth, while the closely balanced green and blue keep it clearly teal rather than navy. In bright daylight, the color reads cleaner and more blue-green; in lower light, it can look darker and more dramatic. Really Teal makes a strong statement on a powder-room wall, built-in bookcase, front door, or kitchen island. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale warm wood, brushed brass, or soft sandy neutrals to bring out its rich color without making the room feel heavy.

LRV of Really Teal
Really Teal has an LRV of 9.69% 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 9.69%, 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.
