What color is Sherwin Williams Celery?
Sherwin Williams Celery SW 6421 is a pale yellow-green with a softened, muted cast rather than a sharp citrus brightness. Its light value keeps it airy on walls, while the beige-leaning undertone gives the color a gently earthy look. In bright daylight, Celery can read as a light, leafy green; under warmer bulbs, its yellow side becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, sunrooms, and bedrooms where a fresh but low-key color is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven rattan, and soft clay or cream textiles for a grounded palette.

LRV of Celery
Celery has an LRV of 71.3% 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 71.3%, 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.
