What color is Sherwin Williams Choice Cream?
Sherwin Williams Choice Cream SW 6357 is a pale, warm cream with a soft beige-peach cast visible beneath its light ivory surface. Its gentle depth keeps it from reading as stark white, making it useful for bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a lighter wall color is wanted without a crisp, cool effect. In bright daylight, Choice Cream can appear creamy and lightly sun-warmed, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out more of its muted peach-beige undertone. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, warm white trim, and brushed brass for a cohesive look. This shade is especially suited to broad wall areas, where its subtle warmth has room to register.

What are Sherwin Williams Choice Cream undertones?
Choice Cream is a light, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Choice Cream
Choice Cream has an LRV of 77.09% 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 77.09%, 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.
