What color is Sherwin Williams Green Glimpse?

Sherwin Williams Green Glimpse SW 9676 is a very light, muted green with a soft gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet or pastel. Its pale value gives walls an airy, nearly off-white appearance, while the green is more noticeable beside crisp white trim or warmer neutrals. In bright daylight, Green Glimpse can look fresh and lightly cool; lower or warmer lighting may bring out its gentle silvery-gray side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and quiet living spaces where a hint of color is wanted without strong contrast. Pair it with clean white, pale oak, brushed nickel, soft charcoal, or natural linen for a restrained, layered look.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 81.68%, 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.
