How they read
In their own wordsShamrock SW 6454 is a very dark green in Sherwin-Williams' green family, rated for interior and exterior use. Sherwin-Williams gives an LRV of 6.42.
Cedar Grove is a mid-light sage — green enough to be clearly a color from across the room, grey enough never to look minty. At LRV 46 it sits in the sweet spot for a full-room green: it holds its tone in daylight and softens rather than muddies as the light fades.
