What color is Sherwin Williams Meander?
Sherwin Williams Meander SW 9522 is a muted mid-tone green with a soft gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than leafy or bright. It reads earthy and slightly weathered in daylight, while north-facing rooms can pull forward its cooler, stonier side. Under warm lamps or late-afternoon sun, Meander takes on a more olive-leaning character. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and lower cabinets, especially alongside warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, and woven linen. Pair it with clay-toned neutrals, charcoal, or deep brown for a layered palette that feels connected to natural materials.

LRV of Meander
Meander has an LRV of 42.46% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 42.46%, 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.
