What color is Sherwin Williams Cucumber?
Sherwin Williams Cucumber SW 6722 is a light, softened yellow-green with a gently muted, almost chalky appearance. Its pale green base carries a noticeable warm yellow cast, so it reads fresher in bright daylight and slightly more subdued under lower or warmer lighting. Cucumber is well suited to kitchen walls, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, and bedrooms where a light botanical color feels appropriate without becoming too vivid. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and soft clay or sandy beige accents to support its earthy side. For more contrast, charcoal details or deep olive accessories give this shade a grounded edge.

LRV of Cucumber
Cucumber has an LRV of 70.72% 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 70.72%, 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.
