What Undertones Does Privilege Green SW 6193 Have?

Knowing what undertones paint colors have is a must if you want to achieve a harmonious and pleasant color palette in your home. Undertones can often hide deep within the layers of color, showing up under specific lighting conditions. But when it happens, the color on your walls is very likely to read completely different from what you expected!

SW Privilege Green has blue-grey undertones, but they are quite well-balanced. This is why you should not be afraid that this green might read prominently blue or grey on your walls.

In fact, its balanced undertones help create a sense of calm in any room where this color is used.

What LRV Does Privilege Green SW 6193 Have?

The LRV (Light Reflectance Value) of SW Privilege Green is 23, which means this green is pretty dark and deep. However, unlike other dark colors, it won’t make your home feel enclosed or dark.

On the other hand, you should still use it with caution since SW Privilege Green still has the tendency to make a room seem smaller if this color is sued in the wrong lighting conditions.

Because of the low LRV value, this color reads pretty cool-toned. Also, its low light reflectivity will affect how it reads in different lighting conditions. SW Privilege Green’s coolness will become specifically noticeable when you use this shade of green in a north-facing room where the light is already cool.

Also, you should note that sometimes, in a north-facing room, SW Privilege Green may feel a bit icy. In a south-facing room, however, the warm light will balance the cool hue in SW Privilege Green. As a result, this color will not make the space feel too cold.
