What color is Sherwin Williams Riverway?
Sherwin Williams Riverway SW 6222 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a grounded, mid-to-deep appearance. Its cool character reads more slate-like in dim rooms, while daylight brings out the softened teal notes in the color. Riverway can give a bathroom, study, or bedroom wall more definition without looking overly bright or nautical. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or matte black hardware to sharpen the contrast. It also has enough depth for kitchen cabinetry or a front door, especially when surrounded by lighter neutral siding or walls.

LRV of Riverway
Riverway has an LRV of 15.62% 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 15.62%, 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.
