What color is Sherwin Williams Soft Sage?
Sherwin Williams Soft Sage SW 9647 is a light, muted gray-beige with a subtle olive cast rather than a distinctly green appearance. Its low saturation keeps it quiet on large walls, where it reads as a softened neutral with just enough earthy color to avoid looking plain gray. In bright daylight, the warm yellow-green influence is more noticeable, while lower or cooler light can bring out its gentle gray side. Soft Sage suits bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens with natural wood, linen upholstery, aged brass, or honed stone. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, and medium oak for a grounded, layered palette.

LRV of Soft Sage
Soft Sage has an LRV of 49.54% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 49.54%, 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.
