What color is Sherwin Williams Arcade White?

Sherwin Williams Arcade White SW 7100 is a pale off-white with a gentle warm cast and a lightly softened, beige-leaning appearance. Its low saturation keeps it from reading creamy or yellow, while the #f3eee7 color value gives it more warmth than a stark gallery white. In bright natural light, Arcade White looks clean and airy; under warm bulbs, its muted warmth becomes more noticeable. It suits full walls, ceilings, and trim in bedrooms, living areas, and kitchens where a softened white is preferable to a crisp pure white. Pair it with light oak, natural linen, aged brass, soft taupe, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Arcade White

Arcade White has an LRV of 85.82% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 85.82%, 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.
