What color is Sherwin Williams Rivulet?
Sherwin Williams Rivulet SW 6760 is a medium blue-green with a softened, slightly muted cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its teal character is clear, leaning cool but carrying enough green to feel grounded rather than icy. In daylight, Rivulet can show its fresh green-blue balance, while warmer evening light may bring forward its greener side. It suits bathroom walls, laundry rooms, covered porches, or kitchen cabinetry where a noticeable color is welcome without becoming heavy. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Rivulet
Rivulet has an LRV of 32.98% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 32.98%, 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.
