What color is Sherwin Williams Bonsai Tint?
Sherwin Williams Bonsai Tint SW 6436 is a light, muted green with a noticeable yellow cast that keeps it from reading icy or minty. Its soft grayness lowers the saturation, giving the color a gentle, powdery appearance rather than a crisp botanical green. In bright daylight, Bonsai Tint can look like a pale leafy green, while lower or warmer light may bring forward its subdued yellow-green undertone. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens where a quiet wash of color is wanted on the walls, and it can also be effective on painted cabinetry with simple hardware. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, or muted clay and sand tones for a grounded palette.

LRV of Bonsai Tint
Bonsai Tint has an LRV of 60.49% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 60.49%, 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.
