What color is Sherwin Williams Verdigreen?
Sherwin Williams Verdigreen SW 9042 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable gray cast and a soft blue influence. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly botanical, giving walls a weathered, mineral-like appearance instead. In bright daylight, Verdigreen can look cleaner and slightly cooler, while lower or warmer light brings out its subdued, dusty character. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and painted built-ins where a calm color is wanted without using a pale neutral. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or stone surfaces in soft beige and gray.

LRV of Verdigreen
Verdigreen has an LRV of 33.95% 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 33.95%, 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.
