What color is Sherwin Williams Halcyon Green?
Sherwin Williams Halcyon Green SW 6213 is a muted green-gray with a soft, slightly cool cast. Its low-saturation appearance keeps the color gentle rather than overtly green, making it well suited to full walls in bedrooms, bathrooms, or quiet living spaces. In brighter light, the green note can look clearer, while lower or cooler light may bring its gray character forward. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, and brushed nickel for a clean, grounded palette. It can also give cabinetry a subtle wash of color without making the room feel heavily saturated.

What are Sherwin Williams Halcyon Green undertones?
Halcyon Green reads as a mid-light, very muted green with a soft gray cast and low saturation. In the supplied digital sample, it shows a slight yellow-green bias, though that subtle lean is best treated as a relative visual tendency rather than a fixed undertone. Sherwin-Williams identifies it simply as a green, which matches its visible main color family. Warm artificial light may bring out its gentle yellow-green side, while cool daylight can make the gray-green quality appear more noticeable.

LRV of Halcyon Green
Halcyon Green has an LRV of 38.53% 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 38.53%, 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.
