What color is Sherwin Williams Green Jewel?
Sherwin Williams Green Jewel SW 6985 is a light, clear green with a noticeable mint-blue cast that keeps it looking fresh rather than earthy. Its high brightness gives walls an open, airy appearance, while the gentle saturation prevents it from reading as neon. In daylight, Green Jewel can show more of its crisp aqua-green side; under warmer bulbs, it may appear softer and slightly more muted. It suits bathrooms, sunrooms, laundry rooms, and children’s spaces, and can also make a cheerful accent on built-ins or a painted interior door. Pair it with clean white trim, pale blond wood, soft sand tones, or deeper teal and navy accents for contrast.

LRV of Green Jewel
Green Jewel has an LRV of 60.2% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 60.2%, 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.
