What color is Sherwin Williams Westhaven?

Sherwin Williams Westhaven SW 9675 is a deep blue-green with a muted, nearly charcoal cast. Its low-brightness character gives walls a grounded look, while the green and blue notes keep it from reading as flat black. In bright daylight, Westhaven may show more of its cool teal influence; under warm lamps, it can appear darker and more subdued. It suits studies, dining rooms, powder rooms, and exterior details where a substantial color is wanted. Pair it with warm off-white trim, weathered oak, aged brass, and clay-toned textiles to bring out its earthy side.

LRV of Westhaven

Westhaven has an LRV of 5.07% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 5.07%, 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.
