What color is Sherwin Williams Laurel Woods?

Sherwin Williams Laurel Woods SW 7749 is a deep, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a subtle olive edge. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than bright, giving walls or cabinetry a quiet, earthy presence. In daylight, Laurel Woods can read as a softened forest green, while lower or warmer light brings out more of its charcoal-olive character. It has enough depth for a study, dining room, mudroom, or exterior trim, and it can also create a strong cabinet finish against pale countertops. Pair this shade with warm off-whites, weathered oak, aged brass, black metal, or natural stone to emphasize its restrained green tone.

What are Sherwin Williams Laurel Woods undertones?

Laurel Woods reads as a deep, very muted green-leaning neutral with low saturation and a charcoal-like weight. In the supplied digital color, the subtle bias trends yellow-green, though that undertone is faint and should be viewed as a relative impression rather than a fixed property of the paint. Sherwin-Williams classifies Laurel Woods as a Neutral, which fits its restrained green character rather than presenting it as a clearly vivid green. Warm artificial light may bring out a slightly earthier, yellower cast, while cool daylight can make its green-gray side more noticeable.

LRV of Laurel Woods

Laurel Woods has an LRV of 6.28% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 6.28%, 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.
