What color is Sherwin Williams Outrageous Green?
Sherwin Williams Outrageous Green SW 6922 is a bright, mid-tone green with a pronounced yellow cast that gives it a lively chartreuse edge. Its saturated color reads fresh and energetic in daylight, while warmer bulbs can bring out more of its golden, grassy character. Use it for a painted front door, garden-facing exterior trim, a playful powder room, or a single accent wall rather than throughout a large room. Crisp white keeps the look clean, while charcoal, matte black, natural oak, and warm terracotta provide grounding contrast.

LRV of Outrageous Green
Outrageous Green has an LRV of 39.62% 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 39.62%, 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.
