What color is Sherwin Williams Shade-Grown?
Sherwin Williams Shade-Grown SW 6188 is a deep, muted green-gray with a subtle olive cast visible in its #4e5147 color value. Its low saturation keeps it grounded rather than bright, giving walls a quiet, shadowed presence in rooms with ample daylight. In warmer lighting, the yellow-green note may come forward slightly, while cooler light emphasizes its charcoal-gray side. Shade-Grown suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior trim, and it can also make a strong statement on cabinetry. Pair it with warm off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, black accents, or stone finishes with soft beige and gray variation.

LRV of Shade-Grown
Shade-Grown has an LRV of 8.02% 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 8.02%, 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.
