What color is Sherwin Williams Gratifying Green?

Sherwin Williams Gratifying Green SW 6435 is a pale, muted green with a noticeable yellow-gray cast that keeps it soft rather than minty or bright. Its high lightness makes it well suited to full walls in bedrooms, bathrooms, or kitchens where a gentle wash of color is wanted. In cooler light, the gray-green side can come forward; warmer bulbs tend to emphasize its subtle leafy warmth. Pair Gratifying Green with creamy off-whites, light oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed brass for a grounded, lived-in look. It can also be used on cabinetry or a painted ceiling when the surrounding finishes are kept light and low-contrast.

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 73.99%, 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.
