What color is Sherwin Williams Teal Stencil?

Sherwin Williams Teal Stencil SW 0018 is a muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its mid-depth color reads cool overall, though the softened green undertone prevents it from feeling icy. In daylight, Teal Stencil can show more of its quiet teal character, while lower or warmer lighting may make it appear deeper and grayer. It suits a study, powder room, or bedroom wall where a darker color is wanted without the intensity of a saturated jewel tone. Pair it with warm white trim, weathered oak, aged brass, or charcoal accents for a layered, natural-looking palette.

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 19.2%, 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.
