What color is Sherwin Williams Greenfield?
Sherwin Williams Greenfield SW 6439 is a muted, mid-depth green with a noticeable earthy olive cast. Its blend of softened yellow and gray keeps it from reading bright or leafy, giving the color a grounded, natural look on walls. In bright daylight, Greenfield can show a slightly fresher moss-green side, while lower or warmer lighting brings forward its deeper, more subdued olive character. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and built-in cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, and tan leather. For a calmer contrast, pair this shade with soft putty, mushroom beige, or a warm off-white rather than a stark, cool white.

LRV of Greenfield
Greenfield has an LRV of 15.06% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 15.06%, 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.
