What color is Sherwin Williams Kind Green?
Sherwin Williams Kind Green SW 6457 is a light, softened green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it from reading overly fresh or bright. Its blue-green lean gives the color a cool, slightly misty appearance, especially in north-facing rooms or shaded areas. In warmer daylight, Kind Green can show a gentler leafy quality while still maintaining its muted finish. It suits bedroom walls, bathrooms, and quiet living spaces, and can also make painted cabinetry feel lighter without turning stark. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or dusty blue textiles for a composed, natural-looking palette.

LRV of Kind Green
Kind Green has an LRV of 50.52% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 50.52%, 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.
