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.

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 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.
