What color is Sherwin Williams Rookwood Jade?
Sherwin Williams Rookwood Jade SW 2812 is a muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a soft olive undertone. Its medium-light value keeps it grounded without reading dark, while the low saturation gives the color a weathered, understated appearance. On walls, Rookwood Jade can bring gentle definition to bedrooms, studies, or dining rooms; in brighter light, its gray-green character is likely to feel clearer, while warmer lighting can draw out the olive note. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm stone, aged brass, natural oak, or charcoal accents for a layered palette. It also has enough restraint for cabinetry or an exterior door where a quieter green is wanted.

LRV of Rookwood Jade
Rookwood Jade has an LRV of 32.85% 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 32.85%, 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.
