What color is Sherwin Williams Nurture Green?
Sherwin Williams Nurture Green SW 6451 is a muted, mid-light green with a soft gray cast and a subtle yellow-green lean. Its low-key saturation keeps it from reading overly botanical, giving walls a gently weathered, natural look. In bright daylight, this shade can appear cleaner and slightly fresher, while lower or cooler light brings out its quieter gray-green side. Use it in bedrooms, kitchens, mudrooms, or painted cabinetry alongside creamy white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and warm clay or terracotta accents. Dark charcoal details or aged bronze hardware add useful contrast without competing with the color.

LRV of Nurture Green
Nurture Green has an LRV of 39.67% 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 39.67%, 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.
