What color is Sherwin Williams Rookwood Blue Green?
Sherwin Williams Rookwood Blue Green SW 2811 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable gray cast and a reserved blue influence. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading bright or leafy, giving walls a grounded, weathered look. In cooler daylight, the blue-green side is more apparent, while warm artificial light can bring forward its earthy green undertone. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior trim where a deeper neutral color is wanted without using charcoal or brown. Pair Rookwood Blue Green with warm white, aged brass, natural oak, tan linen, and deep brown accents for a layered finish.

LRV of Rookwood Blue Green
Rookwood Blue Green has an LRV of 21.38% 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 21.38%, 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.
