What color is Sherwin Williams Cosmetic Blush?

Sherwin Williams Cosmetic Blush SW 7110 is a very light, warm off-white with a soft pink-peach cast. Its low saturation keeps the color close to a creamy neutral, so it reads gently rather than overtly rosy across a full wall. In bright daylight, Cosmetic Blush can appear pale and airy, while evening lighting tends to bring forward its warmer blush undertone. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, nurseries, and ceilings where a plain white might feel too stark. Pair this shade with warm white trim, natural oak, pale limestone, brushed brass, or muted clay and terracotta accents.

What are Sherwin Williams Cosmetic Blush undertones?

Cosmetic Blush is a near-white, very muted warm off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear red. 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.

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 82.51%, 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.
