What color is Sherwin Williams Naval?

Sherwin Williams Naval SW 6244 is a deep, inky navy with a clean blue cast and just enough softness to keep it from reading black. It looks especially rich on built-ins, kitchen islands, and dining room walls, where its depth can anchor lighter furnishings. In a north-facing room, Naval may appear cooler and nearly charcoal-blue, while warm lamps bring out a slightly fuller, more traditional navy character. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, or veined white stone to keep the room from feeling too dark. On an exterior, it has the presence for shutters or a front door, particularly against pale siding or brick.

What are Sherwin Williams Naval undertones?

Naval is a deep, muted blue with moderate saturation, giving it a dark, grounded overall character rather than a bright or vivid one. In the supplied digital sample, the blue leans slightly toward green, which can make it read as a cooler, less purple blue. Sherwin-Williams identifies Naval as a blue paint color; the official page does not make a separate undertone claim. Warm artificial light may soften and slightly dull its blue appearance, while cool daylight can make the blue direction look clearer and crisper.

LRV of Naval

Naval has an LRV of 4% 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 4%, 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.
