What color is Sherwin Williams Succulent?
Sherwin Williams Succulent SW 9650 is a muted green-gray with a deep, grounded presence. Its low saturation keeps the color from reading too leafy or bright, giving it a softly weathered, mineral-like appearance instead. In daylight, Succulent can show its gray cast clearly, while warm evening bulbs may bring out a slightly earthier green character. It has enough depth for kitchen cabinetry, a study, or a powder room, and can also make a quiet statement on an exterior door. Pair this shade with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, charcoal stone, or clay-toned textiles for a layered, natural-looking palette.

What are Sherwin Williams Succulent undertones?
Succulent reads as a midtone, very muted green-gray with low saturation and a restrained overall presence. Its visible color family is green, with a subtle yellow-leaning bias that can make it feel slightly organic rather than blue or silvery. Sherwin-Williams lists it in its Neutral color family, which fits its softened, grayed-down green appearance rather than indicating a separate measured undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out a slightly warmer, olive-leaning cast, while cool daylight can make the gray-green side appear more noticeable.

LRV of Succulent
Succulent has an LRV of 14.06% 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 14.06%, 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.
