What color is Sherwin Williams Rosemary?
Sherwin Williams Rosemary SW 6187 is a muted olive green with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a grounded, low-saturation appearance. Its #64695c color value keeps it in a medium-dark range, so it has enough depth for cabinetry, built-ins, or a study without reading as nearly black. In daylight, Rosemary shows its restrained green character more clearly, while evening light can make it appear smokier and closer to weathered olive-gray. Pair it with warm off-white trim, natural oak, aged brass, or charcoal stone for a layered, material-focused interior. On exterior siding or shutters, this shade suits brick, limestone, and other warm, earthy finishes.

LRV of Rosemary
Rosemary has an LRV of 13.56% 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 13.56%, 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.
