What color is Sherwin Williams Cilantro?
Sherwin Williams Cilantro SW 6453 is a muted, medium-depth green with an earthy olive cast rather than a bright botanical look. Its softened saturation gives it a grounded presence on living room, study, or bedroom walls, especially alongside warm white trim. In brighter daylight, Cilantro can read as a more recognizable leafy green, while lower light brings out its deeper, mossy character. Pair it with natural oak, aged brass, woven fibers, and clay-toned accents for a material-rich scheme. It also has enough depth to make a restrained statement on cabinetry or a front door.

LRV of Cilantro
Cilantro has an LRV of 14.28% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 14.28%, 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.
