What color is Sherwin Williams Evergreens?

Sherwin Williams Evergreens SW 6447 is a deep, muted green with a noticeably softened, low-saturation appearance. Its #405840 color value reads as a grounded mid-to-dark green rather than a bright botanical shade, with enough grayness to keep it from feeling sharp. In strong daylight, Evergreens can show its green more clearly, while dim rooms may make it appear darker and more reserved. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior trim, especially when paired with warm white, natural oak, aged brass, or charcoal accents. Use it on cabinetry or a feature wall when you want substantial color without a glossy, high-energy look.

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 8.45%, 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.
