What color is Sherwin Williams Forestwood?
Sherwin Williams Forestwood SW 7730 is a deep, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and an earthy olive undertone. Its low-saturation character keeps the color grounded rather than bright, giving walls a quiet, wooded appearance. In daylight, Forestwood can read as a softened dark green, while lower or warmer lighting brings out more of its brown-olive warmth. It has enough depth for a study, dining room, or bedroom, and it also makes a strong choice for cabinetry, built-ins, or a front door. Pair it with warm off-whites, clay-toned neutrals, aged brass, natural oak, and blackened metal for a material-focused palette.

What are Sherwin Williams Forestwood undertones?
Forestwood reads as a deep, very muted green with a dark, low-saturation overall character. In the supplied digital sample, its subtle relative bias leans yellow-green, which can make the green feel slightly earthy rather than blue-leaning, though that bias is low-confidence. Sherwin-Williams identifies Forestwood as a green, consistent with its visible main color family, but the official description provided does not specify an undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out its yellow-green cast a little more, while cool daylight may make it appear somewhat cleaner or more neutral green.

LRV of Forestwood
Forestwood has an LRV of 8.28% 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 8.28%, 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.
