What color is Sherwin Williams Fresh Eucalyptus?

Sherwin Williams Fresh Eucalyptus SW 9658 is a light, muted green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it soft rather than leafy or bright. Its cool-leaning appearance is tempered by enough warmth to prevent it from feeling icy, especially alongside natural wood. In daylight, Fresh Eucalyptus reads as a gentle green-gray; under warmer bulbs, its gray undertone becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and quiet living areas where a low-saturation wall color is preferred. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, or matte black details for a clean, grounded contrast.

What are Sherwin Williams Fresh Eucalyptus undertones?

Fresh Eucalyptus reads as a mid-light, very muted green-gray with low saturation and a soft, neutral overall character. The visible green direction is subtle, with a slight yellow-leaning cast that can keep it from looking icy or blue. Sherwin-Williams classifies it as a Neutral color, which fits its restrained gray influence rather than indicating a separate stated undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out its faint yellow-green side, while cool daylight can make the gray-green quality appear a little cleaner and cooler.

LRV of Fresh Eucalyptus

Fresh Eucalyptus has an LRV of 48.25% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 48.25%, 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.
