What color is Sherwin Williams Sage Green Light?
Sherwin Williams Sage Green Light SW 2851 is a muted, medium-depth green with a noticeable gray cast and an earthy olive undertone. Its #73705e color value keeps the shade subdued rather than bright, giving walls a grounded, weathered appearance. In strong daylight, Sage Green Light can read as a softened olive-gray, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out more of its brownish, mossy side. It suits studies, mudrooms, kitchens, and exterior trim where a quieter, natural-looking color is wanted. Pair it with warm white, charcoal, aged brass, medium woods, and textured stone for a material-focused palette.

LRV of Sage Green Light
Sage Green Light has an LRV of 16.08% 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 16.08%, 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.
