What color is Sherwin Williams Seaworthy?

Sherwin Williams Seaworthy SW 7620 is a deep, muted blue-green with a strong slate-like cast. Its low-light depth makes it read as a restrained navy-teal on walls, while brighter daylight can bring out more of its green-blue character. Use it in a study, dining room, powder room, or bedroom where a darker wall color can add definition without looking black. Seaworthy is especially effective on cabinetry or built-ins beside warm white walls, pale oak, aged brass, and natural linen. For contrast, pair this shade with soft cream, sandy beige, or light gray-green accents.

LRV of Seaworthy

Seaworthy has an LRV of 6.71% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

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 6.71%, 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.
