What is the LRV of Sherwin Williams Evergreen Fog?
Sherwin Williams Evergreen Fog has an LRV of 30.
LRV, or Light Reflectance Value, measures the percentage of light a paint color reflects.
It’s a number to assign how light or dark a paint color looks on a scale of 0 (black) to 100 (white).
The higher the LRV number is, the lighter the color is.
The lower the LRV number is – the darker the color is.
So an LRV or 30 means that SW Evergreen Fog is a mid toned color that doesn’t reflect much light.
You can still use it however, in a dark room to create a cozy feeling.
