What color is Sherwin Williams Willowleaf?
Sherwin Williams Willowleaf SW 9649 is a muted mid-tone gray with a distinct olive-green cast and a soft yellowed undertone. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded and earthy rather than overtly green, giving walls a quiet, weathered look. In bright natural light, Willowleaf can read as a gentle gray-green, while lower or cooler light brings forward its deeper mineral gray side. It suits studies, bedrooms, mudrooms, and built-in cabinetry where a subdued natural color feels appropriate. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, oak, linen, and charcoal accents to support its organic, slightly mossy character.

LRV of Willowleaf
Willowleaf has an LRV of 23.67% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 23.67%, 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.
