What color is Sherwin Williams Rookwood Shutter Green?
Sherwin Williams Rookwood Shutter Green SW 2809 is a deep, muted green with a noticeable charcoal-gray cast. Its low-light depth makes it read nearly black in shadowed rooms or on north-facing exteriors, while brighter daylight reveals the restrained green beneath. This shade feels cool-leaning rather than yellow or olive, giving it a grounded, architectural look on shutters, doors, built-in cabinetry, or a library wall. Pair it with warm off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, brick, or weathered stone to bring out its subtle green character. In a small room, use it on trim or lower cabinetry for contrast; in a larger, well-lit space, it can hold its own across all four walls.

LRV of Rookwood Shutter Green
Rookwood Shutter Green has an LRV of 4.09% 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 4.09%, 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.
