What color is Sherwin Williams Croissant?
Sherwin Williams Croissant SW 7716 is a light, muted beige with a clear warm golden cast. Its creamy tan base keeps it from reading stark or gray, while the softened saturation gives walls a gently weathered, natural look. In bright daylight, Croissant can appear sandy and lightly sunlit; under warm bulbs, its beige warmth becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a pale neutral is wanted without the coolness of many greiges. Pair this shade with off-white trim, honey-toned wood, linen upholstery, and earthy accents in terracotta, olive, or deep brown.

LRV of Croissant
Croissant has an LRV of 58% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 58%, 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.
