What color is Sherwin Williams Secret Garden?
Sherwin Williams Secret Garden SW 6181 is a deep, muted green with earthy gray undertones that keep it from reading overly bright or jewel-toned. It has the weight of shaded foliage, making it especially effective on cabinetry, a dining room, or a study where darker walls feel intentional rather than heavy. In bright daylight, the green becomes more apparent, while north-facing rooms and low evening light can bring out its near-black depth. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, worn brass, and linen for contrast, or use walnut and charcoal stone for a more grounded look.

LRV of Secret Garden
Secret Garden has an LRV of 8.57% 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 8.57%, 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.
