What color is Sherwin Williams Glimmer?
Sherwin Williams Glimmer SW 6476 is a very light, muted green-gray with a cool, airy cast. Its low saturation keeps the color soft on broad walls, where it can read almost like a misted off-white with a gentle green presence. In bright daylight, Glimmer appears cleaner and paler; lower or warmer lighting can bring out more of its gray softness. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and laundry rooms, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and matte white tile. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper charcoal gray, blue-green accents, or black hardware.

LRV of Glimmer
Glimmer has an LRV of 78.41% and refers to Off‑White 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 78.41%, 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.
