What color is Sherwin Williams Olivetone?
Sherwin Williams Olivetone SW 9670 is a muted, medium-dark green with an earthy olive cast and softened gray undertones. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than bright, giving walls a substantial, natural look. In strong daylight, Olivetone can read as a softened leafy green, while lower or warmer light draws out its deeper, mossy side. It suits studies, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior trim where a darker color can add definition without looking blackened. Pair it with warm off-whites, weathered wood, aged brass, charcoal, or clay-toned accents for a material-rich palette.

LRV of Olivetone
Olivetone has an LRV of 10.93% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 10.93%, 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.
