What color is Sherwin Williams Recycled Glass?

Sherwin Williams Recycled Glass SW 7747 is a light, muted yellow-green with a softly weathered olive cast. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet rather than bright, giving walls a gentle earthy presence. In warm daylight, the yellow undertone may come forward slightly, while cooler light can make it read more gray-green. Recycled Glass suits kitchens, mudrooms, bedrooms, and built-in cabinetry where a restrained organic color is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, linen, and charcoal or deep olive accents for grounded contrast.

LRV of Recycled Glass

Recycled Glass has an LRV of 51.03% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident lightWhy LRV is important?

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 51.03%, 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.
