What color is Sherwin Williams Tansy Green?
Sherwin Williams Tansy Green SW 6424 is a muted olive green with a noticeable yellow cast, giving it an earthy, sun-warmed appearance. Its medium depth keeps it grounded rather than bright, while the softened saturation prevents it from reading as a sharp botanical green. In daylight, Tansy Green can show more of its dusty yellow-olive side; under warm artificial light, it may lean deeper and more khaki. It suits a study, dining room, mudroom, or kitchen cabinetry where a substantial natural color feels appropriate. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm wood, aged brass, terracotta tile, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Tansy Green
Tansy Green has an LRV of 28.27% 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 28.27%, 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.
