What color is Sherwin Williams Leapfrog?
Sherwin Williams Leapfrog SW 6431 is a muted olive green with a noticeable yellow cast and a soft, earthy gray undertone. Its medium depth keeps it grounded rather than bright, giving walls a worn-in botanical look. In warm daylight, Leapfrog can read more like mellow olive or khaki green, while cooler light brings forward its subdued gray-green side. It suits studies, mudrooms, kitchens, and exterior siding where a nature-based color can hold its own without becoming too dark. Pair it with warm off-white trim, aged brass, natural oak, tan leather, or deep charcoal accents for a layered, practical palette.

LRV of Leapfrog
Leapfrog has an LRV of 26.26% 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 26.26%, 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.
