What color is Sherwin Williams Tempo Teal?
Sherwin Williams Tempo Teal SW 6947 is a vivid blue-green with a distinctly cool, aquatic cast. Its high saturation gives it clear presence on a feature wall, front door, or painted cabinetry, especially when paired with crisp white trim. In bright daylight, Tempo Teal appears lively and clean; in lower light, it takes on a deeper, more concentrated teal look. Natural oak, pale maple, brushed brass, and warm off-whites help offset its cool intensity, while charcoal or deep navy can create a bolder contrast. Use this shade where a strong hit of color is wanted rather than as a quiet neutral backdrop.

LRV of Tempo Teal
Tempo Teal has an LRV of 19.3% 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 19.3%, 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.
