What color is Sherwin Williams Starboard?
Sherwin Williams Starboard SW 6755 is a deep, saturated green with a noticeable blue-teal cast. Its low brightness gives it weight on a wall, while the cool undertone keeps it from reading like an earthy forest green. In bright daylight, Starboard can show more of its clean teal-green character; under warm interior lighting, it often appears darker and more grounded. It makes a strong choice for cabinetry, a powder room, a dining room accent wall, or a front door where a rich color is welcome. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, black metal, or soft clay-toned textiles to bring out its depth.

LRV of Starboard
Starboard has an LRV of 10.93% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 10.93%, 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.
