What color is Sherwin Williams Kale Green?
Sherwin Williams Kale Green SW 6460 is a muted mid-to-dark green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from feeling overly leafy or bright. Its slightly cool character gives the color a grounded, shaded appearance, especially in rooms with limited natural light. On walls, Kale Green can bring useful depth to a study, dining room, mudroom, or bedroom without creating the heaviness of a near-black green. It also has enough restraint for painted cabinetry, particularly with warm white walls, natural oak, aged brass, or matte black hardware. In brighter daylight, this shade shows more of its earthy green base, while evening lighting tends to make it appear deeper and more subdued.
LRV of Kale Green
Kale Green has an LRV of 12.74% 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 12.74%, 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.
