What color is Sherwin Williams Garden Spot?
Sherwin Williams Garden Spot SW 6432 is a muted olive green with a dry, earthy cast and noticeable yellow undertones. Its medium-dark value gives it enough weight for cabinetry, a study, or a dining room, while its softened saturation keeps it from reading too sharp. In bright daylight, Garden Spot can show more of its mossy yellow-green side; lower or warmer light tends to make it appear deeper and more subdued. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, aged brass, natural oak, or dark brown leather for a grounded palette. On an exterior, this shade suits shutters, doors, or trim against pale stone, beige siding, or brick.

LRV of Garden Spot
Garden Spot has an LRV of 16.66% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 16.66%, 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.
