What color is Sherwin Williams Grassland?
Sherwin Williams Grassland SW 6163 is a light, muted neutral with a soft green-gray cast and a noticeably warm, beige-leaning base. Its low saturation keeps it quiet on broad walls, where it can read like a weathered khaki or gentle olive-tinted greige rather than a distinct green. In bright natural light, Grassland appears lighter and slightly more airy, while evening or shaded rooms bring out its earthier gray-beige side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways paired with creamy off-whites, warm wood, aged brass, linen, and charcoal accents. This shade can also give cabinetry or an exterior trim detail a restrained, natural-looking alternative to standard gray.

What are Sherwin Williams Grassland undertones?
Grassland is a mid-light, very muted straw beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Grassland
Grassland has an LRV of 50.11% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 50.11%, 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.
