What color is Sherwin Williams Derbyshire?

Sherwin Williams Derbyshire SW 6741 is a deep, earthy green with a slightly cool cast and enough saturation to hold its own on large surfaces. Its dark green base reads grounded rather than blackened, bringing clear color to a study, dining room, or lower kitchen cabinets. In bright daylight, Derbyshire can show a fresher leafy green character, while lower or warmer light makes it appear richer and more shaded. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, or tan leather to bring out its organic side. For a more graphic contrast, this shade looks especially crisp alongside pale stone, soft gray, or matte black details.

LRV of Derbyshire

Derbyshire has an LRV of 8.73% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 8.73%, 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.
