What color is Sherwin Williams Retro Mint?
Sherwin Williams Retro Mint SW 9036 is a light, softened green with a clear mint cast and a gentle grayish restraint that keeps it from looking sugary. Its mid-light value gives walls noticeable color while still feeling open and airy. In bright daylight, Retro Mint reads fresher and slightly cooler; under warm bulbs, its green softens toward a muted seafoam. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, breakfast nooks, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, or matte black hardware. Pair it with creamy neutrals and dusty blue-green accents for a layered palette rather than an overly matchy look.

LRV of Retro Mint
Retro Mint has an LRV of 54.17% 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 54.17%, 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.
