What color is Sherwin Williams Envy?
Sherwin Williams Envy SW 6925 is a sharp, yellow-leaning green with the punch of a fresh lime peel. It reads bright and lively rather than earthy, so it is usually strongest on a front door, a powder-room wall, painted shelving, or a small piece of cabinetry instead of across every wall in a large room. Clear daylight brings out its citrusy yellow undertone, while warmer bulbs can make it look a little more leaf green. Pair it with crisp warm white, pale oak, black accents, or natural linen to give the color some breathing room. For a bolder scheme, Envy has enough intensity to stand beside deep navy, terracotta tile, or brushed brass.

LRV of Envy
Envy has an LRV of 19.9% 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 19.9%, 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.
