What color is Sherwin Williams Holly Glen?
Sherwin Williams Holly Glen SW 9678 is a light, muted green with a soft gray cast and a subtle yellow-green lean. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet on broad walls, where it reads more like a weathered botanical neutral than a vivid green. In bright daylight, Holly Glen shows its gentle green character more clearly, while warmer indoor light can make it appear slightly softer and grayer. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, mudrooms, and kitchens, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, linen, and brushed brass. Pair it with creamy off-whites, muted clay accents, or deeper olive-green details for a grounded, layered palette.

LRV of Holly Glen
Holly Glen has an LRV of 56.99% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 56.99%, 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.
