What color is Sherwin Williams Edamame?
Sherwin Williams Edamame SW 7729 is a muted olive-khaki with an earthy yellow-brown cast. Its medium depth keeps it grounded rather than bright, making the green influence feel softened and dusty. In warm daylight, Edamame can read more golden and mossy, while cooler or lower light brings forward its subdued gray-olive side. It suits kitchens, studies, mudrooms, and covered exterior details, especially on cabinetry or an accent wall. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal, deep brown wood, aged brass, and natural stone for a layered, organic look.

LRV of Edamame
Edamame has an LRV of 19.89% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 19.89%, 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.
