What color is Sherwin Williams Tempe Star?
Sherwin Williams Tempe Star SW 6229 is a deep, muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its cool teal character reads especially clearly in daylight, while lower or warmer light can bring out its smoky, softened quality. Tempe Star gives a powder room, office, or bedroom wall more visual depth without the heaviness of a near-black navy. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or natural linen for contrast, or use it on cabinetry with light stone counters. On an exterior, this shade has enough depth for shutters or a front door against creamy siding.

LRV of Tempe Star
Tempe Star has an LRV of 11.05% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 11.05%, 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.
