What color is Sherwin Williams Contented?

Sherwin Williams Contented SW 6191 is a light, muted green-gray with a soft yellow cast that keeps it from reading icy. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered look, closer to faded sage than a fresh botanical green. In bright daylight, Contented can appear cleaner and slightly greener, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its gray-beige side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living spaces where a quiet color is wanted without using a plain neutral. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale wood, aged brass, linen upholstery, and deeper olive or charcoal accents.

What are Sherwin Williams Contented undertones?

Contented reads as a mid-light, highly muted green with a soft yellow-green direction rather than a strong or vivid green. The supplied digital color shows only a subtle green and yellow bias, so its undertone is best viewed as gentle and changeable rather than fixed. Sherwin-Williams classifies Contented as a green, which matches its visible main color family. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellowed cast, while cool daylight can make the green quality appear a little clearer.

LRV of Contented

Contented has an LRV of 51.87% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

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 51.87%, 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.
