What color is Sherwin Williams Woolen Mittens?
Sherwin Williams Woolen Mittens SW 9526 is a muted, mid-light beige with a noticeable warm gray cast and soft khaki undertones. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overtly yellow, giving walls a grounded, gently weathered look. In bright daylight, Woolen Mittens can appear like a light greige-beige, while evening lighting tends to bring out its warmer, slightly earthy side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a pale neutral needs more depth than cream. Pair it with off-white trim, aged brass, natural oak, linen upholstery, and charcoal or olive accents for a layered, material-focused palette.

LRV of Woolen Mittens
Woolen Mittens has an LRV of 45.56% 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 45.56%, 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.
