What color is Sherwin Williams Hazel?
Sherwin Williams Hazel SW 6471 is a light, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a soft blue lean. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly minty, giving walls a gently weathered, airy look instead. In north-facing rooms, Hazel can appear cooler and a little more blue-gray, while warm daylight brings out its quieter green side. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and painted cabinetry where a pale color is wanted without the starkness of white. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or natural linen for a restrained, grounded palette.

LRV of Hazel
Hazel has an LRV of 49.95% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 49.95%, 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.
