What color is Sherwin Williams Opera Glass?
Sherwin Williams Opera Glass SW 7129 is a very pale, softly muted green with a cool, misty cast. Its light value keeps walls looking open and airy, while the gentle green undertone adds more character than a plain off-white. In daylight, Opera Glass can read as a clean washed green; under warmer bulbs, it may appear softer and slightly grayer. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, and quiet kitchen walls, especially alongside white trim, pale oak, honed stone, and brushed nickel. Use this shade across full walls for a subtle color wash, or on cabinetry when a light green alternative to white is wanted.

LRV of Opera Glass
Opera Glass has an LRV of 85.85% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 85.85%, 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.
