What color is Sherwin Williams Biscuit?
Sherwin Williams Biscuit SW 6112 is a light, softly muted beige with a noticeable warm cream cast and a gentle peach-tan undertone. Its pale value keeps walls bright without reading as stark white, while the low saturation gives it a powdery, relaxed appearance. In direct daylight, Biscuit can look like a creamy off-white; under warm lamps, its beige and subtle rosy warmth become more apparent. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral backdrop is needed, and can also soften cabinetry in spaces with ample natural light. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, natural linen, brushed brass, and deeper clay or mushroom-brown accents.
LRV of Biscuit
Biscuit has an LRV of 73.67% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
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 73.67%, 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.
