What color is Sherwin Williams Relentless Olive?

Sherwin Williams Relentless Olive SW 6425 is a muted, medium-dark olive with a noticeable yellow cast beneath its green-gray surface. Its low-saturation character keeps it earthy rather than bright, giving walls a grounded presence without reading as heavy forest green. In warm daylight, the yellow-olive side becomes more apparent; cooler light can bring forward its restrained grayness. Relentless Olive suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and cabinetry where a deeper natural color feels appropriate. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, walnut, linen, and tan leather for a layered, material-focused look.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 15.74%, 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.
