What color is Sherwin Williams Rookwood Dark Green?
Sherwin Williams Rookwood Dark Green SW 2816 is a deep, muted green with an earthy olive cast and a softened gray quality. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly forest-green, giving walls or cabinetry a grounded, close-to-nature look. In bright daylight, the green becomes a little clearer, while lower light emphasizes its darker, smoky side. Use Rookwood Dark Green on a study, dining room, built-in bookcases, or exterior trim where its depth can frame lighter surroundings. It pairs especially well with warm off-whites, aged brass, black accents, natural oak, and stone with beige or taupe variation.

LRV of Rookwood Dark Green
Rookwood Dark Green has an LRV of 10.07% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 10.07%, 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.
