What color is Sherwin Williams Nettle?
Sherwin Williams Nettle SW 9535 is a deep, muted brown with an earthy olive-khaki cast. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly green, while the warm brown base gives it a grounded, weathered look. In bright natural light, the subdued olive undertone may be more noticeable; in dimmer rooms, it can settle into a darker brown. Use Nettle on cabinetry, a study wall, exterior trim, or a front door where its depth can add definition without looking black. It pairs well with warm off-whites, clay-toned neutrals, aged brass, natural oak, and dark leather.

LRV of Nettle
Nettle has an LRV of 10.64% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 10.64%, 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.
