What color is Sherwin Williams Garden Gate?
Sherwin Williams Garden Gate SW 6167 is a deep, muted olive-brown with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than overly green. Its low-light value gives walls a substantial, enveloping look, while the earthy undertone reads warmer beside creamy whites, natural oak, and aged brass. In bright daylight, Garden Gate can show more of its dusty olive character; under warm lamps, it leans closer to a softened brown-gray. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior trim where a darker neutral is wanted without the starkness of charcoal. Pair it with warm off-white, clay-toned textiles, black metal, or weathered wood for a layered, natural finish.

LRV of Garden Gate
Garden Gate has an LRV of 9.92% 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 9.92%, 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.
