What color is Sherwin Williams Clary Sage?
Sherwin Williams Clary Sage SW 6178 is a muted gray-green with a soft yellow cast that keeps it from feeling cold. Its mid-light depth gives walls noticeable color without making a room feel dark or heavily saturated. In bright daylight, the green reads more clearly, while lower or warmer light can bring out its subdued khaki-gray side. Clary Sage suits kitchens, bedrooms, and living areas, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and aged brass. It can also make a grounded choice for cabinetry or exterior siding when paired with creamy whites and darker charcoal accents.

LRV of Clary Sage
Clary Sage has an LRV of 40.96% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 40.96%, 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.
