What color is Sherwin Williams Overt Green?
Sherwin Williams Overt Green SW 6718 is a muted yellow-green with an earthy olive cast and a softly weathered look. Its mid-light depth gives it enough presence for full walls without reading heavy, especially in kitchens, mudrooms, and sunlit living spaces. Warm daylight brings out its golden green side, while cooler light can make the shade appear quieter and slightly more subdued. Pair Overt Green with creamy off-whites, warm clay tones, natural oak, or aged brass for a layered, grounded palette. It also makes a characterful choice for cabinetry or a front door when surrounded by neutral siding or trim.

LRV of Overt Green
Overt Green has an LRV of 34.03% 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 34.03%, 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.
