What color is Sherwin Williams Grasshopper?

Sherwin Williams Grasshopper SW 6733 is a mid-depth green with a gently muted, leafy character and a subtle yellow-green cast. Its balanced saturation keeps it from reading neon, while the darker value gives it enough weight for an accent wall, painted cabinetry, or a front door. In bright daylight, Grasshopper can appear fresher and more botanical; lower or warmer light brings out its earthier olive side. Pair it with warm whites, natural oak, tan leather, and woven textures for a grounded look, or add charcoal and black accents for sharper contrast. It is especially effective in mudrooms, garden-facing kitchens, powder rooms, and exterior details where a clear natural green feels appropriate.

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 18.9%, 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.
