What color is Sherwin Williams Vintage Vessel?
Sherwin Williams Vintage Vessel SW 9050 is a muted blue-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright or tropical. Its mid-light depth gives walls noticeable color while still feeling open, especially in bathrooms, bedrooms, and sunrooms. In cooler daylight, Vintage Vessel may lean more toward a misty green-blue, while warm bulbs can bring out its quieter sage side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale oak, brushed nickel, or weathered brass for a grounded, lived-in look. It is especially effective on cabinetry or a single accent wall when surrounded by lighter neutrals.

LRV of Vintage Vessel
Vintage Vessel has an LRV of 40.72% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 40.72%, 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.
