What color is Sherwin Williams Sea Serpent?

Sherwin Williams Sea Serpent SW 7615 is a deep blue with a noticeable blue-green cast, like the darker water near a rocky shoreline. It reads cool and inky on the wall, though warm lamps can pull forward a softer teal undertone in the evening. In a north-facing room, expect it to look especially dark and moody, so it benefits from crisp warm-white trim, pale linen curtains, and plenty of layered lighting. Sea Serpent is particularly effective on kitchen or built-in cabinetry, a dining room wall, or a front door where its depth feels intentional rather than heavy. Pair it with natural oak, walnut, aged brass, creamy stone, or muted terracotta for contrast that keeps the blue from feeling overly nautical.

LRV of Sea Serpent

Sea Serpent has an LRV of 7% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect lightWhy 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 7%, 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.
