What color is Sherwin Williams Artichoke?
Sherwin Williams Artichoke SW 6179 is a deep, muted olive green with noticeable gray and brown undertones that keep it from reading too grassy or bright. It has the look of an artichoke leaf or weathered olive branch—earthy, slightly dusty, and substantial without becoming blackened. In a north-facing room, its gray cast may be more apparent, while warm lamps and late-afternoon sun bring out its softer golden-green side. Use it on kitchen cabinetry, a library wall, exterior shutters, or a dining room where a darker color can ground wood furniture. Artichoke pairs naturally with warm white trim, aged brass, walnut, tan leather, limestone, and rust-toned terracotta.

What are Sherwin Williams Artichoke undertones?
Artichoke reads as a muted, midtone green with a noticeable yellow-olive cast and relatively low saturation. The supplied digital sample leans yellow while remaining slightly green, which gives it an earthy, softened green character rather than a crisp or blue-leaning one. Sherwin-Williams classifies Artichoke as a green, and the visible yellow bias helps explain why it can read more olive than many straightforward greens. Warm artificial light may bring forward its yellow-olive side, while cool daylight can make the green aspect appear a little clearer.

LRV of Artichoke
Artichoke has an LRV of 21% 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 21%, 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.
