What color is Sherwin Williams Renwick Olive?
Sherwin Williams Renwick Olive SW 2815 is a muted, earthy olive with a noticeable khaki cast and a warm brown-yellow base. Its medium depth keeps it grounded without reading as overly dark, making it especially useful for rooms that need more presence than a pale neutral can provide. In bright daylight, the subdued green character is easier to see, while lower or warmer lighting can bring forward its tan, slightly brown undertones. Renwick Olive suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and built-in cabinetry, particularly alongside creamy off-whites, warm wood, aged brass, and natural linen. For an exterior, it can give shutters or a front door a restrained, organic contrast against light stone, brick, or warm white siding.
LRV of Renwick Olive
Renwick Olive has an LRV of 25.37% 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 25.37%, 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.
