What color is Sherwin Williams Vegan?
Sherwin Williams Vegan SW 6738 is a softened medium green with a lightly muted, leafy appearance. Its subtle cool cast keeps it from reading overly yellow, while the moderate lightness gives it enough presence for full walls. In bright daylight, Vegan looks fresher and clearer; lower or warmer lighting can make it appear quieter and slightly grayer. It suits kitchens, bedrooms, and sunrooms where a natural green can carry the room without feeling heavy. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, woven cane, or charcoal accents for a grounded contrast.
LRV of Vegan
Vegan has an LRV of 46.75% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 46.75%, 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.
