What color is Sherwin Williams Reseda Green?
Sherwin Williams Reseda Green SW 9040 is a muted mid-tone green with a soft gray cast and a subtle yellow-olive influence. Its moderate depth keeps it from reading pastel, while the restrained saturation gives walls a settled, lived-in look. In bright daylight, Reseda Green can appear fresher and slightly leafier; under warmer indoor lighting, its earthy olive side becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, studies, and exterior siding, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and stone finishes. For contrast, pair this shade with charcoal, deep brown, or a near-black green.

LRV of Reseda Green
Reseda Green has an LRV of 26.21% 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 26.21%, 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.
