What color is Sherwin Williams Tranquil Aqua?

Sherwin Williams Tranquil Aqua SW 7611 is a muted blue-green with a soft gray cast, sitting at a comfortable mid-light depth. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly coastal or bright, giving walls a calm, gently weathered appearance. In daylight, the blue and aqua notes are clearer; warmer evening bulbs can bring its gray undertone forward. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, or a home office alongside warm white trim, pale oak, charcoal textiles, and brushed brass hardware. It also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or a front door when paired with lighter surrounding finishes.

LRV of Tranquil Aqua

Tranquil Aqua has an LRV of 30.1% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

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 30.1%, 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.
