What color is Sherwin Williams Direct Green?

Sherwin Williams Direct Green SW 6924 is a clear, high-energy green with a cool, blue-leaning cast rather than an earthy or olive undertone. It reads like a clean strip of turf or a vivid green road sign—strong, direct, and far from muted. In bright daylight, the color can look especially crisp and saturated, while warm evening bulbs may pull out a slightly richer emerald note. Direct Green is best used with intention: on a front door, a painted bookcase, kitchen island, powder room vanity, or a single accent wall in a creative space. Pair it with warm white walls, pale oak, black details, brushed brass, or natural linen to give its intensity some breathing room.

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 19.32%, 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.
