What color is Sherwin Williams Swimming?

Sherwin Williams Swimming SW 6764 is a pale aqua with a clean blue-green cast and a noticeably light value. Its soft saturation keeps it airy on broad walls, while the cool undertone is clear enough to read as color rather than off-white. In daylight, Swimming can look fresh and watery; under warmer evening bulbs, its blue-green character may appear slightly muted. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, and bedrooms where a light, crisp wall color is wanted. Pair it with bright white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, or muted charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Swimming

Swimming has an LRV of 73.08% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 73.08%, 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.
