What color is Sherwin Williams Regatta?

Sherwin Williams Regatta SW 6517 is a deep blue with a noticeable green-teal cast, giving it the look of water seen in shade rather than a straightforward navy. Its fairly dark value makes it read rich and grounded on walls, especially in dining rooms, studies, and powder rooms. Bright daylight brings out more of the blue-green character, while evening light can pull it toward a quieter, inkier blue. Regatta is particularly effective on cabinetry, built-ins, or a single accent wall paired with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and natural linen. For a stronger contrast, use it alongside soft sand, clay-toned accents, or crisp off-white surfaces.

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 8.33%, 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.
