About Acacia Haze
Acacia Haze LRV and undertone
Sherwin-Williams Acacia Haze (SW 9132) has an LRV of 32, a mid-tone depth, and a green color family. Its calculated Lab undertone is green. Light Reflectance Value measures the percentage of visible light reflected by a painted surface, with lower values indicating less reflection. At LRV 32, Acacia Haze sits between dark colors and high-reflectance pale paints. This mid-tone depth allows the color to remain visually distinct without reflecting as much light as a lighter green.
The green undertone matters when comparing this shade with gray, blue, or neutral paints. Lighting can shift how undertones appear: north-facing rooms typically receive cooler daylight, while south-facing rooms generally receive warmer light. Before painting a full room, test a sample beside existing flooring, countertops, and trim. White trim can emphasize the difference between the wall color and its surroundings, while closely matched trim creates less contrast.
Acacia Haze in other brands
PPG Gray Heron (PPG1033-5) is the nearest listed alternative, with an LRV of 28 and a ΔE of 3.8. PPG Farm Fresh (PPG1129-5) has an LRV of 31 and a ΔE of 5.0. Valspar Café Blue (5001-4A) has an LRV of 29.07 and a ΔE of 6.1. These alternatives differ in measured color distance, even when their LRVs are relatively close.
ΔE expresses the difference between two measured colors. A value under 1 means near-identical, 1 to 2 means very close, 2 to 4 means close but visibly different side by side, and over 4 means only similar. Gray Heron is therefore close but visibly different in a direct comparison, while Farm Fresh and Café Blue are similar rather than close matches. Compare physical samples under the room’s actual lighting.
Lighter and darker Sherwin-Williams alternatives
Sherwin-Williams Evergreen Fog (SW 9130) has an LRV of 30, making it darker by LRV, with a ΔE of 2.6. It is a useful comparison when a slightly lower light-reflectance value is desired. Sherwin-Williams Ellie Gray (SW 7650), at LRV 40, is lighter and has a ΔE of 6.5. Sherwin-Williams Dorian Gray (SW 7017) also has an LRV of 39, with a ΔE of 7.0.
Sherwin-Williams Oyster Bay (SW 6206) has an LRV of 44 and a ΔE of 6.9, making it the lightest of these alternatives by LRV. Higher LRV can help a room reflect more available light, although window exposure and finish also matter. Sample the lighter options where the room receives less daylight and assess darker alternatives against the trim before deciding.
