What color is Sherwin Williams Plymouth Green?
Sherwin Williams Plymouth Green SW 2852 is a light, muted green with a noticeable yellow-olive cast that keeps it from reading icy or blue. Its softened, low-saturation finish gives walls a dusty botanical look rather than a sharp spring-green appearance. In bright daylight, Plymouth Green can appear lighter and more yellow-green, while lower or warmer light tends to bring out its subdued olive side. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, garden-facing living spaces, and cabinetry where a quiet earthy color is wanted without going dark. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, clay-toned textiles, or deeper olive accents for a layered palette.

LRV of Plymouth Green
Plymouth Green has an LRV of 44.87% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 44.87%, 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.
