What color is Sherwin Williams Greenblack?
Sherwin Williams Greenblack SW 6994 is a near-black charcoal with a faint cool green-gray cast visible in brighter light. Its low saturation keeps it from reading as a strong green, while the deep value gives walls, cabinetry, and trim a grounded, graphic presence. In sunlit rooms, Greenblack can show more of its muted gray-green character; at night or in shadow, it settles into a soft black. Pair it with warm white walls, pale oak, brushed brass, or linen textiles to bring contrast to its cool depth. It is especially effective on kitchen cabinets, exterior details, built-ins, or a single accent wall where a standard black might feel too stark.

LRV of Greenblack
Greenblack has an LRV of 4.13% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 4.13%, 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.
