What color is Sherwin Williams Ruskin Room Green?
Sherwin Williams Ruskin Room Green SW 0042 is a muted olive-khaki with a noticeable yellow cast that keeps it grounded and earthy. Its mid-tone depth gives walls color without making a room feel overly dark, especially in spaces with generous daylight. In brighter light, this shade can read as a softened mossy green; under warm lamps, its tan and golden undertones become more apparent. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and painted cabinetry, particularly alongside warm white trim, aged brass, oak, leather, and natural linen. Pair Ruskin Room Green with clay-toned neutrals or deep brown accents for a layered, lived-in look.

LRV of Ruskin Room Green
Ruskin Room Green has an LRV of 35.73% 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 35.73%, 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.
