What color is Sherwin Williams Valleyview?

Sherwin Williams Valleyview SW 9673 is a light, muted green with a noticeable soft yellow cast that keeps it from reading cold or blue. Its low saturation gives it a gently weathered, gray-green appearance rather than a crisp botanical look. In bright daylight, Valleyview can appear airy and leafy, while lower or warmer light draws out its subtle khaki undertone. It suits bedroom, bath, and kitchen walls where a quiet touch of color is wanted without making the room feel dark. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and matte brass for a grounded, natural palette.

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 57.88%, 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.
