What color is Sherwin Williams Cheviot?
Sherwin Williams Cheviot SW 9503 is a soft, muted off-white with a gentle gray-beige cast that keeps it from reading stark. It has the look of undyed wool or pale limestone, giving walls a quiet, slightly earthy finish. In bright daylight, it can appear fairly light and clean, while north-facing rooms may draw out its cooler gray side. Warm lamps and evening sun bring forward a creamier, more relaxed warmth. Cheviot is well suited to whole-room walls, especially in living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways with oak floors, linen upholstery, or natural stone. Pair it with warmer white trim, walnut, aged brass, and subdued olive or navy accents for definition.

LRV of Cheviot
Cheviot has an LRV of 88.72% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 88.72%, 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.
