What color is Sherwin Williams Leaflet?

Sherwin Williams Leaflet SW 9674 is a muted, medium-depth green with a noticeable gray cast and a soft yellow-green undertone. Its low saturation keeps it grounded rather than bright, giving walls a quiet, earthy presence. In daylight, Leaflet can read as a softened olive green, while lower or cooler light may bring out more of its grayness. It suits kitchens, mudrooms, bedrooms, and home offices where a natural color is wanted without making the room feel dark. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, aged brass, and oatmeal-colored textiles for an easy, organic palette. This shade also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or a restrained exterior accent.

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 29.54%, 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.
