What color is Sherwin Williams Majolica Green?

Sherwin Williams Majolica Green SW 0013 is a muted, light yellow-green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading too bright. Its olive-leaning undertone gives the color an earthy warmth, while the subdued saturation makes it gentle enough for broad wall coverage. In daylight, Majolica Green can appear more like a dusty sage; under warmer lamps, its yellow-green side becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, breakfast nooks, and garden-facing bedrooms, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and woven textures. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, muted terracotta, or dark brown wood.

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 42%, 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.
