What color is Sherwin Williams Greens?
Sherwin Williams Greens SW 6748 is a deep, saturated green with a noticeable blue-teal cast. Its low brightness gives it substantial visual weight, so it reads especially rich on cabinetry, doors, and trim rather than as an all-over wall color in a dim room. In bright natural light, Greens shows more of its clear green character, while evening light can make it appear darker and closer to a shadowy blue-green. Pair it with warm white walls, pale oak, rattan, or aged brass to bring contrast to its cool depth. It also makes a crisp exterior accent for shutters or a front door against light stucco or warm brick.

LRV of Greens
Greens has an LRV of 10.03% 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 10.03%, 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.
