What color is Sherwin Williams City Loft?
Sherwin Williams City Loft SW 7631 is a light, muted greige with a noticeable warm beige base and a soft gray cast. It can read almost off-white in bright daylight, while north-facing rooms may pull out more of its gray-green undertone. At night, especially under warm bulbs, it tends to look creamier and slightly more grounded rather than stark. Use it on whole-room walls when you want a pale neutral that still has some depth, or try it on kitchen cabinetry with warm white walls and brushed brass hardware. Natural oak, linen upholstery, pale stone, and deep olive or charcoal accents give City Loft a lived-in, layered look.

What are Sherwin Williams City Loft undertones?
City Loft reads as a light, very muted off-white with a soft yellow-beige lean rather than a crisp, bright white. The yellow bias is subtle, so it can still appear fairly neutral, especially across larger surfaces. Sherwin-Williams classifies City Loft as a white paint color, which fits its light overall character, though the supplied digital color sample looks slightly warmer than a pure neutral white. Warm artificial light may bring out its faint creamy warmth, while cool daylight can make it look cleaner and closer to a pale neutral gray-beige.

LRV of City Loft
City Loft has an LRV of 71.15% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 71.15%, 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.
