What color is Sherwin Williams Corona?
Sherwin Williams Corona SW 7121 is a very light cream with a noticeable golden-yellow cast softened by a hint of peach. Its pale, low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading as bright butter yellow, though it will look warmer and sunnier in south- or west-facing rooms. In cooler daylight, Corona can settle into a gentle off-white with creamy undertones. It suits living room walls, bedrooms, and dining spaces where a clean white would feel too stark, and it can also warm up painted trim or cabinetry. Pair it with natural oak, linen, aged brass, warm white accents, or muted clay and olive tones for a grounded palette.

LRV of Corona
Corona has an LRV of 84.78% 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 84.78%, 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.
