What color is Sherwin Williams Tantalizing Teal?
Sherwin Williams Tantalizing Teal SW 6937 is a light, clear teal with a noticeable aqua cast and a soft green-blue undertone. Its high brightness keeps the color airy rather than heavy, making it especially effective on walls in bathrooms, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or casual bedrooms. In strong daylight, Tantalizing Teal reads crisp and watery; under warmer indoor lighting, its green side can become more apparent. Pair it with clean white trim, pale sand tones, light oak, rattan, or brushed nickel for a fresh, grounded look. It can also make a lively statement on a painted vanity, kitchen island, or front door.

LRV of Tantalizing Teal
Tantalizing Teal has an LRV of 60.59% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 60.59%, 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.
