What color is Sherwin Williams Aged White?

Sherwin Williams Aged White SW 9180 is a pale, softly warm off-white with a gentle beige cast rather than a crisp, bright-white look. Its #e8decd color value gives it a lightly muted, low-contrast appearance that can soften broad walls without reading overly yellow. In daylight, Aged White tends to feel airy and creamy, while warmer evening lighting can bring out more of its beige warmth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and painted trim where a subtle alternative to pure white is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm gray stone, muted clay accents, or deeper brown-black details for definition.

What are Sherwin Williams Aged White undertones?

Aged White is a light, very muted off-white with a soft creamy-beige cast rather than a crisp, bright white. In the supplied digital color sample, the subtle bias leans yellow, which supports its warm overall character, though that undertone is slight and can shift with surrounding colors and lighting. Sherwin-Williams classifies it as a white, without specifying an undertone on the provided official page. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its creamy warmth, while cool daylight can make it read closer to a neutral off-white.

LRV of Aged White

Aged White has an LRV of 74.08% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

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 74.08%, 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.
