Sherwin Williams

Glimmer

SW 6476

Glimmer is a soft cool green with blue undertones, carrying a high LRV of 78 that makes it effective in bathrooms, bedrooms, and north-facing rooms where light reflectance matters. The color reads as a near-neutral with just enough green to distinguish it from a plain white or gray. It pairs well with Extra White and Pure White on trim and ceilings, where the slight chromatic difference creates subtle depth.

A charcoal accent on furnishings or cabinetry provides necessary contrast and prevents the palette from appearing washed out.

Glimmer in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
