What color is Sherwin Williams High Strung?
Sherwin Williams High Strung SW 6705 is a saturated golden olive with a distinctly earthy, mustard-leaning cast. Its medium depth keeps the color grounded, while the strong yellow pigment gives it noticeable presence on a wall or painted cabinet. In bright natural light, High Strung reads warmer and more golden; in dimmer rooms, its olive side becomes more pronounced. Use it for a dining room accent wall, a powder room vanity, or built-in shelving paired with warm white trim, walnut, aged brass, and blackened metal. For a calmer scheme, balance this shade with soft clay neutrals, muted greens, or creamy beige textiles.

LRV of High Strung
High Strung has an LRV of 31.45% and refers to Medium 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 31.45%, 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.
