What color is Sherwin Williams Softened Green?
Sherwin Williams Softened Green SW 6177 is a light, muted green with a noticeable gray cast and a soft yellow-green undertone. Its low saturation keeps it from reading like a bright botanical green, giving walls a gently weathered, mineral-like appearance instead. In bright daylight, this color can look lighter and slightly more green, while warmer artificial light may bring out its subdued khaki side. It suits bedrooms, kitchens, mudrooms, and built-in cabinetry, especially alongside creamy white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and linen upholstery. For contrast, pair Softened Green with deep charcoal, dark bronze, or a muted clay brown rather than crisp, icy colors.

LRV of Softened Green
Softened Green has an LRV of 49.24% 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 49.24%, 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.
