What color is Sherwin Williams Wild Lime?
Sherwin Williams Wild Lime SW 9668 is a light, muted yellow-green with a soft khaki cast rather than a sharp citrus look. Its high lightness and restrained saturation give it a gently weathered appearance, sitting between creamy straw and pale olive. In bright daylight, Wild Lime can read cleaner and more yellow, while lower or warmer light brings forward its subdued green-beige side. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, or painted cabinetry where a quiet touch of color is wanted without a strong contrast. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and deeper olive or charcoal accents for definition.

LRV of Wild Lime
Wild Lime has an LRV of 71.93% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 71.93%, 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.
