What color is Sherwin Williams Roycroft Bronze Green?
Sherwin Williams Roycroft Bronze Green SW 2846 is a subdued, earthy shade that sits between olive green, brown, and soft charcoal gray. Its low-saturation character keeps the color from reading overtly green, giving it a grounded, weathered look on walls or cabinetry. In brighter daylight, Roycroft Bronze Green can show more of its muted olive cast, while lower or warmer light brings forward its brown-gray depth. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior trim where a darker neutral is wanted without the starkness of black. Pair this shade with warm white, aged brass, natural oak, tan leather, or stone finishes with beige and taupe variation.

What are Sherwin Williams Roycroft Bronze Green undertones?
This is a deep, very muted bronze-olive color with a low-saturation, near-neutral appearance. The supplied digital sample leans slightly yellow, which can read as an earthy olive or aged bronze cast rather than a clear green; that bias is subtle, so lighting and surrounding colors can shift the impression. No manufacturer undertone description was provided, so this assessment is based only on the supplied color sample. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its brownish-yellow cast, while cool daylight may make its muted green character easier to notice.

LRV of Roycroft Bronze Green
Roycroft Bronze Green has an LRV of 8.85% 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 8.85%, 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.
