What color is Sherwin Williams Turquish?
Sherwin Williams Turquish SW 6939 is a vivid blue-green with a strong teal cast and a clean, high-saturation presence. Its depth keeps it from reading like a pale aqua, while the green influence makes it feel more grounded than a purely blue turquoise. In bright daylight, Turquish shows its crisp, energetic color clearly; lower or warmer light can make it appear deeper and slightly more green-leaning. It makes a confident statement on a powder-room wall, painted front door, or built-in cabinetry. Pair this shade with warm white trim, pale oak, natural rattan, or matte black hardware for contrast that lets the color stay in focus.

LRV of Turquish
Turquish has an LRV of 27.2% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 27.2%, 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.
