What color is Sherwin Williams Burma Jade?

Sherwin Williams Burma Jade SW 2862 is a muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a gentle blue-green lean. Its light-to-mid depth keeps it present on the wall without making a room feel dark, while the softened saturation gives it a weathered, mineral-like appearance. In clear daylight, Burma Jade reads as a calm leafy green; under warmer bulbs, its gray undertone becomes more apparent. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, mudrooms, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or natural linen. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, inky blue, or a muted clay tone.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 40.25%, 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.
