What color is Sherwin Williams Alexandrite?
Sherwin Williams Alexandrite SW 0060 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable cool, blue-gray influence. It has enough color to define a room without reading as overly dark or heavily saturated, making it especially effective on bedroom walls, built-in shelving, or a painted dining room cabinet. In daylight, Alexandrite tends to show its soft green character more clearly, while warm interior lighting can make it appear slightly grayer and more subdued. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, pale oak, and aged brass for a grounded, layered look.

LRV of Alexandrite
Alexandrite has an LRV of 22.17% 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 22.17%, 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.
