What color is Sherwin Williams Frosted Fern?
Sherwin Williams Frosted Fern SW 9648 is a muted, light-to-mid-tone green-gray with a noticeable yellowed olive cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly green, giving walls a softened, weathered look rather than a crisp botanical one. In bright daylight, Frosted Fern can show more of its dusty green character, while warm evening light may pull it closer to a subdued khaki-gray. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, and bedrooms, especially alongside creamy off-whites, warm putty tones, natural oak, aged brass, and woven textures. This shade can also give cabinetry or exterior trim a grounded color presence without becoming too dark.

LRV of Frosted Fern
Frosted Fern has an LRV of 38.03% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 38.03%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
