What color is Sherwin Williams Slow Green?
Sherwin Williams Slow Green SW 6456 is a light, muted green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it soft rather than bright. Its gentle green presence reads clean and airy in daylight, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out its slightly dustier, more subdued side. This shade is well suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and quiet living spaces where a pale color is wanted without moving into white. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, and brushed nickel for an understated layered look. Slow Green can also be used on cabinetry or a covered exterior porch when a low-saturation green feels more appropriate than a stronger botanical tone.

LRV of Slow Green
Slow Green has an LRV of 63.97% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 63.97%, 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.
