What color is Sherwin Williams Straightforward Green?

Sherwin Williams Straightforward Green SW 6935 is a clear mid-tone green with a lively, natural presence and only a faint lean toward yellow. Its solid saturation gives it enough color to stand up on a full wall, while the moderate depth keeps it from feeling overly dark. In bright daylight, this shade reads crisp and leafy; in lower light, it takes on a richer, more grounded green appearance. Use Straightforward Green for a kitchen island, mudroom cabinets, a garden-facing dining room, or a front door where a clean color statement suits the architecture. It pairs well with warm white trim, pale wood, terracotta tile, charcoal accents, and brushed brass hardware.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 29.13%, 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.
