Sherwin Williams
Ripe Olive
SW 6209
Due to its low LRV, it works best on accent walls or in rooms with ample natural light. Ripe Olive pairs with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster or Creamy as contrasting trim whites, Rookwood Gold for a warm accent, and moss-toned greens for earth-based schemes.

Ripe Olive in Different Light
Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV
6.0LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
