What Kind of Color Is Majolica Green SW-0013?

SW Majolica Green is a pretty light shade of green. However, you can’t say it looks pale or washed out on the walls! As Hextoral says, SW Majolica Green gives that soft and moderately warm feel that makes any space look calm and tranquil.

This color is pretty versatile and can be used both on exterior and interior walls.

However, due to its undertones that tend to show up under certain conditions and change the color a bit, we recommend you always sample SW Majolica Green!

This will help you to ensure it reads exactly as you want.

Is It a Warm or Cool Color?

Not all people enjoy warm-toned colors, just like not all of us are fond of cool-toned ones. Also, the tone of the wall color often depends on the overall color scheme used in the space. E.g., in a room with prevailing cool colors, using too many warm-toned ones might not be the best idea!

Speaking of SW Majolica Green, this color definitely leans towards the warmer end of the tone scale.

However, it will hardly ever look clearly warm on your walls. On the other hand, SW Majolica Green may seem a bit warmer if it is used in a room with many warm-toned colors and warm natural/artificial lighting.

But generally, this shade of green tends to look pretty balanced on the walls and other surfaces.

What Undertones Does Majolica Green SW-0013 Have?

As we have already mentioned, SW Majolica Green has a tendency to reading warmer sometimes. This is possible thanks to its undertones. See, this green color has very slight and barely seen yellowish undertones.

This yellow base is what makes SW Majolica Green give off that warmer hue now and then. But if you prefer to avoid warmer colors in your home, sample SW Majolica Green to ensure it reads exactly how you want.

What Is the LRV Value of SW Majolica Green Paint Color?

Light Reflectance Value (shortly known as LRV) indicates how light or dark a color will look on a scale of 0 (which is black) to 100 (which is pure white). The higher the LRV value, the lighter and more reflective the color, and vice versa.

The LRV of SW Majolica Green paint color is 45, which means it is a medium color with moderate reflectivity by its LRV value.

At the same time, SW Majolica Green will hardly ever look washed out or make your rooms feel brighter. Generally, this is a good color option for rather spacious and well-lit rooms.

In an enclosed, very small, or poorly-lit room, this paint color may read a bit deeper in tone than it is on a color sample.

What Is the Best Trim Color For SW Majolica Green?

Since SW Majolica Green is a warm-toned green that stays in between the cool and warm end of the scale, you can use warmer and cooler whites with equal success on your trim and moldings. However, we would not recommend you opt for too warm or too cold and crisp whites! None of them will work well with this paint on your walls because of the imbalanced look.

If you are looking for a whiter trim, we suggest you use SW Creamy as a trim color. This white is bright enough, but it doesn’t look sterile or icy crisp. For a more muted and less clean contrast, try SW Greek Villa as a complementary trim color instead.
