What color is Sherwin Williams English Ivy?
Sherwin Williams English Ivy SW 2935 is a very deep blue-green with a nearly black appearance in low light. Its green base is cooled by a noticeable blue cast, giving the color a dense, shadowy character rather than a warm forest-green look. On a sunlit wall, the teal-green depth becomes easier to see; in dim rooms, this shade can read as an inky dark neutral. English Ivy is especially effective on kitchen cabinetry, built-ins, library walls, or a front door where its depth can be appreciated up close. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, cognac leather, or pale stone to bring contrast and keep the palette from feeling too dark.

LRV of English Ivy
English Ivy has an LRV of 3.78% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 3.78%, 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.
