What color is Sherwin Williams Ripe Olive?
Sherwin Williams Ripe Olive SW 6209 is a deep, muted olive with a noticeable gray cast that keeps the green from feeling too earthy or bright. Its low-light value gives walls a grounded, shadowed look, while daylight can bring out its softly mossy undertone. Use it in a study, dining room, mudroom, or on kitchen cabinetry where a darker color can define the architecture. Ripe Olive pairs well with warm off-whites, weathered wood, aged brass, black accents, and stone surfaces with beige or taupe variation. On an exterior, it can give doors or shutters a restrained green presence against creamy trim or brick.

What are Sherwin Williams Ripe Olive undertones?
Ripe Olive reads as a deep, very muted green with a dark, earthy overall character. In the supplied digital sample, the color leans subtly toward yellow-green, though that bias is restrained rather than strongly obvious. Sherwin-Williams identifies Ripe Olive as a green paint color, which matches its visible main color family. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its muted yellow-green cast, while cool daylight can make it appear a little greener and grayer.

LRV of Ripe Olive
Ripe Olive has an LRV of 6.16% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 6.16%, 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.
