What color is Sherwin Williams Creole Cottage?
Sherwin Williams Creole Cottage SW 7706 is a muted peach with a warm, clay-like cast and a softened blush undertone. Its light-to-medium depth keeps it from reading overly sugary, giving walls a grounded wash of color rather than a sharp pastel look. In bright daylight, Creole Cottage appears lighter and more peach-forward, while evening lighting can bring out its dusty terracotta side. It suits dining rooms, bedrooms, and powder rooms, especially alongside creamy whites, natural oak, woven textures, and aged brass. Use this shade on full walls for a warm backdrop or on cabinetry and an accent wall where its gentle color can stand out.

LRV of Creole Cottage
Creole Cottage has an LRV of 53.64% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 53.64%, 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.
