What color is Sherwin Williams Agate Green?
Sherwin Williams Agate Green SW 7742 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable gray cast and soft yellow undertones. Its earthy, low-saturation character keeps it from reading too bright, giving walls a grounded, natural appearance. In warm daylight, Agate Green can appear slightly mossier, while cooler light brings out more of its gray-green side. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, bedrooms, and covered exterior details where a softened green feels more practical than vivid. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, aged brass, natural oak, or dark bronze hardware for a layered, material-driven look.
LRV of Agate Green
Agate Green has an LRV of 33.87% 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 33.87%, 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.
