What color is Sherwin Williams Offbeat Green?
Sherwin Williams Offbeat Green SW 6706 is a deep, earthy yellow-green with a pronounced olive cast and a muted mustard undertone. Its medium-dark value gives it enough weight for cabinetry, a dining room, or a compact powder room where a stronger color can feel intentional. In bright daylight, the golden side of the shade is more noticeable, while lower light brings out its darker, more olive-brown character. Pair Offbeat Green with warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, and linen textiles to support its grounded look. For contrast, charcoal, deep brown, or a dusty blue-gray can keep the palette from becoming overly warm.

LRV of Offbeat Green
Offbeat Green has an LRV of 25.7% 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 25.7%, 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.
