What color is Sherwin Williams Antique White?

Sherwin Williams Antique White SW 6119 is a light, creamy off-white with a noticeable beige cast that keeps it warmer than a crisp white. Its soft yellow-beige undertone gives walls a gentle, sun-warmed look, especially in rooms with natural daylight. In lower light, Antique White can read deeper and more muted, closer to a pale oatmeal or parchment tone. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and traditional or transitional cabinetry where a bright white would feel too sharp. Pair it with honey-toned wood, aged brass, linen upholstery, warm gray accents, or deeper brown details for a grounded palette.

LRV of Antique White

Antique White has an LRV of 72.45% 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 72.45%, 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.
