What color is Sherwin Williams Buff?
Sherwin Williams Buff SW 7683 is a light, creamy beige with a noticeable warm yellow cast softened by gentle peachy tan undertones. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the muted color gives it more presence than a stark white. In daylight, Buff reads as a sunlit neutral; under warm bulbs, its golden cream character becomes more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where wood floors, woven natural fibers, aged brass, or warm white trim are part of the palette. Pair it with muted olive, clay, soft brown, or charcoal accents for contrast without pulling the room into a cool color scheme.

LRV of Buff
Buff has an LRV of 75.22% 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 75.22%, 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.
