What color is Sherwin Williams Filmy Green?

Sherwin Williams Filmy Green SW 6190 is a pale, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a lightly softened yellow undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly minty, giving the color a quiet, weathered look on broad walls. In bright daylight, Filmy Green can appear airy and silvery; under warmer indoor bulbs, its green tone tends to look a little more subdued. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where white trim, pale oak, linen, or brushed nickel can reinforce its gentle gray-green character. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal accents, deep blue-gray textiles, or warm off-white cabinetry.

What are Sherwin Williams Filmy Green undertones?

Filmy Green is a light, very muted straw beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Filmy Green

Filmy Green has an LRV of 64.48% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

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 64.48%, 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.
