What color is Sherwin Williams Salty Dog?
Sherwin Williams Salty Dog SW 9177 is a deep blue with a muted, slightly gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright or glossy. Its #234058 color value gives it a cool, inky presence, with enough depth to feel close to navy while retaining a clear blue character. In bright daylight, this shade can show more of its blue tone; in lower light, it settles into a darker, more shadowed blue. Salty Dog makes a strong choice for kitchen cabinetry, a study, an exterior front door, or a single wall where darker color is welcome. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, natural linen, or soft camel leather to bring contrast and warmth around the blue.

What are Sherwin Williams Salty Dog undertones?
Salty Dog reads as a deep, muted blue with moderate saturation and a strong navy-like character. In the supplied digital color, the blue leans slightly toward green, which can make it look a little cooler and less purple than some dark blues. Sherwin-Williams describes Salty Dog as a blue paint color, which matches its clearly blue visible main family; the official source provided does not specify an undertone. Warm artificial light may soften and slightly dull its blue appearance, while cool daylight can make its blue and subtle green-leaning cast easier to notice.

LRV of Salty Dog
Salty Dog has an LRV of 4.67% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 4.67%, 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.
