What color is Sherwin Williams Pickle?
Sherwin Williams Pickle SW 6725 is a medium, softened green with a noticeable yellow cast that keeps it earthy rather than blue or minty. Its muted depth gives the color a leafy, olive-leaning appearance, especially in lower or cooler light. In bright daylight, Pickle can read clearer and fresher, while warm evening lighting draws out its golden-green undertone. It makes a grounded choice for kitchen cabinetry, a mudroom, or an accent wall in a dining area. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm wood finishes, aged brass, and charcoal details for a layered, natural-looking palette.

LRV of Pickle
Pickle has an LRV of 31.57% 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 31.57%, 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.
