What color is Sherwin Williams Rural Green?
Sherwin Williams Rural Green SW 6418 is a muted olive-gold with a noticeable brown cast, sitting at a medium depth rather than reading as a bright green. Its earthy yellow undertone gives the color a dry, sun-baked quality that can look more khaki in strong daylight and deeper olive in lower or cooler light. It has enough pigment for cabinetry, a painted island, or a study, while still being suitable for walls in rooms with ample natural light. Pair Rural Green with warm off-whites, clay-toned textiles, aged brass, and natural oak to bring out its grounded character. For contrast, charcoal accents or deep blue-gray details keep the palette from becoming overly warm.

LRV of Rural Green
Rural Green has an LRV of 22.62% 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 22.62%, 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.
