What color is Sherwin Williams Synergy?
Sherwin Williams Synergy SW 6938 is a bright, medium-light turquoise with a clear blue-green cast. Its noticeable saturation gives walls a crisp, energetic presence, especially in rooms with ample daylight. Synergy can read a little greener beside blue accents and more aqua against warm white trim or pale sand tones. It suits a powder room, sunroom, laundry room, or a painted front door where a concentrated hit of color feels appropriate. Pair it with clean white, light oak, woven natural fibers, charcoal details, or soft coral accents for contrast.

LRV of Synergy
Synergy has an LRV of 43.01% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 43.01%, 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.
