About Retreat
Retreat LRV and undertone
Sherwin-Williams Retreat (SW 6207) has an LRV of 21, placing it in the dark color range. Light Reflectance Value indicates how much visible light a color reflects. At this level, a painted surface reflects relatively little light compared with a mid-tone or light color. Retreat belongs to the green color family, and its calculated undertone is green. This combination makes it important to consider surrounding colors when evaluating the paint. In north-facing rooms, cooler daylight can change how green undertones appear. South-facing rooms generally receive warmer light, which may alter the perceived balance. Darker colors can also show greater contrast against white trim. Sample the paint on more than one wall to see how the room’s lighting affects its appearance.

Acacia Haze (SW 9132), at LRV 32 and ΔE 9.7, also reflects more light. Their higher LRVs may suit rooms where a green color is desired with less depth than Retreat.

Its lower reflectance may suit a space where stronger visual depth is acceptable. Compare all samples with the room’s flooring and trim, and check them in daylight and evening lighting before deciding.
