What color is Sherwin Williams Tame Teal?

Sherwin Williams Tame Teal SW 6757 is a light, airy blue-green with a distinctly cool cast and a soft, watery appearance. Its pale value keeps the color from feeling heavy, making it a natural fit for bathrooms, laundry rooms, bedrooms, or a breezy kitchen wall. In bright daylight, Tame Teal can read cleaner and slightly more blue, while lower or warmer light may bring out its gentle green side. Pair it with crisp white trim, light oak, pale maple, or brushed nickel for a fresh, uncomplicated look. It also makes a cheerful choice for painted cabinetry or a single accent wall when the surrounding finishes are kept light and simple.

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 73.3%, 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.
