What color is Sherwin Williams Gecko?
Sherwin Williams Gecko SW 6719 is a muted yellow-green with an earthy olive cast, shown here as #7a8833. Its medium depth keeps it grounded rather than bright, with a noticeable dose of golden warmth beneath the green. In strong daylight, Gecko can read clearer and slightly more green, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its olive, almost mossy side. It makes a strong choice for cabinetry, a study, mudroom, or an accent wall where the color can hold its own. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm clay tones, natural oak, aged brass, or charcoal accents for a layered, material-focused look.

LRV of Gecko
Gecko has an LRV of 22.09% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 22.09%, 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.
