What color is Sherwin Williams Silken Peacock?

Sherwin Williams Silken Peacock SW 9059 is a medium-depth blue-green with a muted, slate-like cast rather than a bright tropical teal. Its cool character is clear, though the softened saturation keeps it grounded and easy on the eye. In daylight, this shade reads as a composed teal-blue; under warmer lamps, its blue-green depth becomes darker and more subdued. Use it on a study wall, powder room cabinetry, or a dining room accent where a richer color can hold its own. Silken Peacock pairs especially well with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal, and natural linen textiles.

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).
