What color is Sherwin Williams Luau Green?
Sherwin Williams Luau Green SW 6712 is a muted yellow-green with an olive cast and a grounded, medium-depth presence. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading too bright, while the noticeable golden undertone gives it warmth. In daylight, Luau Green can appear like a dusty olive; under warmer bulbs, its yellow side becomes more pronounced. It suits a study, mudroom, kitchen island, or built-in cabinetry where a natural, earthy color can add definition without turning overly dark. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, medium-toned wood, and clay or terracotta accents for a layered, organic look.

LRV of Luau Green
Luau Green has an LRV of 29.48% 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 29.48%, 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.
