What color is Sherwin Williams Enlightened Lime?
Sherwin Williams Enlightened Lime SW 6721 is a pale yellow-green with a soft, lightly muted appearance. Its creamy lime cast keeps it from reading stark, while the high lightness makes it especially useful for brightening walls without the sharpness of a pure white. In daylight, Enlightened Lime can show its fresh green influence more clearly; under warm lamps, it may lean gentler and more yellowed. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, sunrooms, or a child’s room where a subtle wash of color is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, and muted sage or dusty blue accents for a relaxed, layered palette.
LRV of Enlightened Lime
Enlightened Lime has an LRV of 79.93% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 79.93%, 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.
