What color is Sherwin Williams Green Trance?
Sherwin Williams Green Trance SW 6462 is a pale, softened green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading too sweet or minty. Its light value gives walls an airy look, while the muted saturation makes the color feel restrained rather than bright. In daylight, Green Trance can show as a clean green-gray; under warmer lamps, it may lean a little softer and more subdued. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and calm kitchen walls, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or honed stone. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal, deep blue-green, or black accents rather than overly yellow creams.

LRV of Green Trance
Green Trance has an LRV of 75.38% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 75.38%, 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.
