What color is Sherwin Williams Chartreuse?
Sherwin Williams Chartreuse SW 0073 is a light, softened yellow with a distinctly warm, golden cast. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading like a bright primary yellow, giving it a dry, sun-faded appearance instead. In strong daylight, Chartreuse can look clearer and more luminous, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its mellow ochre side. It suits breakfast nooks, mudrooms, and small powder rooms, or can add a cheerful note to built-in shelving and painted furniture. Pair it with creamy whites, warm gray-taupes, natural oak, aged brass, and earthy green accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Chartreuse
Chartreuse has an LRV of 64.11% 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 64.11%, 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.
