What color is Sherwin Williams Crème?
Sherwin Williams Crème SW 7556 is a light, warm off-white with a noticeable creamy yellow cast rather than a crisp white appearance. Its soft depth keeps walls from reading stark, especially beside bright white trim or cool gray finishes. In north-facing rooms, Crème may look slightly more muted and beige, while warm afternoon light draws out its buttery warmth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle, low-contrast backdrop is wanted, and it can also soften painted cabinetry. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, terracotta accents, or deep olive and brown tones for grounded contrast.

LRV of Crème
Crème has an LRV of 81.6% 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 81.6%, 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.
