What color is Sherwin Williams Lime Granita?
Sherwin Williams Lime Granita SW 6715 is a light, softened yellow-green with a creamy, muted cast rather than a sharp citrus look. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the green undertone gives white-heavy rooms a little more color and life. In bright daylight, Lime Granita can read fresher and slightly greener; under warm artificial light, its yellow notes become more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, sunrooms, and children’s spaces, as well as painted cabinetry when a gentle alternative to white is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and deeper olive or moss accents for contrast.

LRV of Lime Granita
Lime Granita has an LRV of 72.62% and refers to Off‑White 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 72.62%, 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.
