What color is Sherwin Williams Inverness?
Sherwin Williams Inverness SW 6433 is a deep, muted olive green with a noticeable earthy yellow cast. Its low-light value gives it a grounded presence, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading too sharp or grassy. In bright natural light, Inverness can show more of its mossy green character; in dimmer rooms, it settles into a darker, more shadowed olive. It is especially effective on kitchen cabinetry, library walls, or a front door where its depth can be paired with warm white trim, aged brass, walnut, and natural stone. For a quieter look, use this shade alongside oatmeal linen, tan leather, and soft clay-toned neutrals.

LRV of Inverness
Inverness has an LRV of 11.08% 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 11.08%, 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.
