What color is Sherwin Williams Billiard Green?
Sherwin Williams Billiard Green SW 0016 is a deep, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a subtly cool, blue-leaning character. Its low saturation keeps it from reading as bright or botanical, giving walls a grounded, softened appearance instead. In brighter daylight, the green is clearer, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out its charcoal-like depth. Use Billiard Green on a study, dining room, built-in cabinetry, or an exterior door where a dark color can add definition without looking black. It pairs well with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, matte black hardware, and stone or linen in soft beige and putty tones.

LRV of Billiard Green
Billiard Green has an LRV of 8.73% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 8.73%, 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.
