What color is Sherwin Williams Corallite?

Sherwin Williams Corallite SW 9698 is a pale, creamy neutral with a soft peach-beige cast. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the muted warmth prevents it from reading as stark white. In daylight, Corallite can show its gentle peach undertone more clearly; under warm evening bulbs, it may lean creamier and more subdued. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and softly lit hallways, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with earthy clay tones, muted olive, or deep charcoal details.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 75.67%, 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.
