What color is Sherwin Williams Oakmoss?
Sherwin Williams Oakmoss SW 6180 is a muted, medium-dark olive green with a noticeable earthy yellow cast beneath its grayed-down surface. It reads grounded rather than bright, giving walls a shaded botanical look that can feel deeper in low light and slightly more olive in warm daylight. Oakmoss is especially effective in studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and on built-in cabinetry where its depth has room to register. Pair it with warm off-whites, weathered oak, aged brass, and natural linen for a layered, organic palette. On an exterior, this shade can give shutters or a front door a substantial contrast against creamy siding or warm brick.

What are Sherwin Williams Oakmoss undertones?
Oakmoss is a midtone, muted green with a clear yellow-olive cast and low-to-moderate saturation. Sherwin-Williams classifies it as a green, which matches its visible main color family, while the digital sample leans relatively yellow rather than blue or gray-green. Its undertone can be described as a yellow bias in relation to the green base, not as a fixed hidden pigment. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its olive warmth, while cool daylight can make the green character appear more noticeable.

LRV of Oakmoss
Oakmoss has an LRV of 13.18% 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 13.18%, 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.
