What color is Sherwin Williams Julep?
Sherwin Williams Julep SW 6746 is a medium green with a noticeable cool, blue-leaning cast that keeps it from reading too yellow or grassy. Its mid-range depth gives it enough color for full walls while remaining clear rather than heavy. In bright daylight, Julep can look fresher and slightly more aqua-tinged; lower or warmer light may bring out its softer muted green side. It suits bathrooms, sunrooms, laundry rooms, and painted cabinetry where a clean green is welcome. Pair it with warm white trim, pale natural oak, light gray stone, or muted coral accents for contrast.

LRV of Julep
Julep has an LRV of 32.39% 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 32.39%, 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.
