What color is Sherwin Williams Paradise?
Sherwin Williams Paradise SW 6720 is a muted olive green with a noticeable yellow cast, giving it an earthy, plant-like character rather than a bright botanical look. Its medium-dark depth helps it read grounded on walls, especially in studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, or kitchens with natural wood finishes. In strong daylight, Paradise can show more of its mossy green side, while lower or warmer lighting brings forward its golden olive undertone. It pairs well with creamy off-whites, warm clay tones, charcoal, and aged brass, as well as oak, walnut, and woven natural-fiber materials. This shade is especially effective for cabinetry, built-ins, or an accent wall when a room needs color with visual weight.

LRV of Paradise
Paradise has an LRV of 17.68% 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 17.68%, 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.
