What color is Sherwin Williams Great Green?
Sherwin Williams Great Green SW 6430 is a muted yellow-green with a soft, leafy cast and a gently weathered look. Its medium-light depth keeps it present on the wall without reading dark, while the grayed-down saturation prevents it from feeling overly bright. In sunlit rooms, Great Green can show more of its warm, herbal yellow undertone; cooler light may bring out its subdued sage side. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, breakfast nooks, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and aged brass. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, dark brown wood, or a dusty terracotta accent.

LRV of Great Green
Great Green has an LRV of 42.89% 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 42.89%, 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.
