What color is Sherwin Williams Refresh?

Sherwin Williams Refresh SW 6751 is a light, softly muted aqua with a noticeable green cast and a clean, cool-leaning appearance. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the #a1d4c8 color gives it more presence than an almost-white mint. In daylight, Refresh can read as a gentle sea-glass green; under warmer indoor bulbs, its green undertone becomes a little more apparent. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, and children’s spaces, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, light bamboo, or brushed nickel. For contrast, pair this shade with deep navy accents, charcoal details, or warm terracotta textiles.

LRV of Refresh

Refresh has an LRV of 58.71% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 58.71%, 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.
