What color is Sherwin Williams Waterscape?
Sherwin Williams Waterscape SW 6470 is a light, muted blue-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or tropical. Its pale value gives walls an airy look, while the green undertone remains more noticeable than the blue in balanced daylight. In cooler light, Waterscape can appear cleaner and slightly bluer; warmer bulbs may pull forward its gentle green-gray side. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, or a quiet home office, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and natural linen. Use this shade on full walls when you want color without much visual weight, or on cabinetry for a subtle wash of muted color.

What are Sherwin Williams Waterscape undertones?
Waterscape is a light, very muted pale sage. The HEX sample has a subtle green bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear green. Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

LRV of Waterscape
Waterscape has an LRV of 61.53% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 61.53%, 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.
