What color is Sherwin Williams Wheat Grass?
Sherwin Williams Wheat Grass SW 6408 is a muted golden tan with an earthy, wheat-like cast rather than a bright yellow presence. Its medium-light depth and softened saturation give it a grounded look that can read slightly more beige in low light and more golden in sunlit rooms. Wheat Grass suits dining rooms, entryways, and kitchens where warmer color is welcome without overwhelming the space. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered wood, aged brass, and deep olive or charcoal accents for contrast. It is especially effective on full walls or cabinetry, where its understated ochre tone can anchor natural materials.

LRV of Wheat Grass
Wheat Grass has an LRV of 47.52% 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 47.52%, 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.
