What color is Sherwin Williams Watery?
Sherwin Williams Watery SW 6478 is a light, muted blue-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool aqua character is most noticeable in clean daylight, while warmer indoor bulbs can bring forward its quieter green-gray side. Watery has enough color for a bathroom, laundry room, or bedroom wall, yet its pale depth keeps larger spaces from feeling heavily saturated. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, and brushed nickel for a clean, coastal-leaning look without relying on bold contrast. It also makes a gentle choice for painted cabinetry or a front door when surrounded by neutral siding and stone.

LRV of Watery
Watery has an LRV of 57.17% 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 57.17%, 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.
