What color is Sherwin Williams Surf Green?
Sherwin Williams Surf Green SW 6473 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable blue-gray cast, giving it the look of weathered sea glass rather than a bright mint. Its softened saturation keeps the color grounded on full walls, especially in bathrooms, bedrooms, or a study with natural wood furniture. In strong daylight, Surf Green reads cleaner and slightly greener, while lower or warmer light can bring forward its gray-blue side. Pair it with soft off-whites, charcoal accents, warm brass, or pale oak to highlight its quiet depth. It can also make kitchen cabinetry or a covered exterior door feel distinctive without becoming overly bold.

LRV of Surf Green
Surf Green has an LRV of 21.4% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 21.4%, 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.
