What color is Sherwin Williams Dollop Of Cream?

Sherwin Williams Dollop Of Cream SW 7120 is a very light, warm off-white with a creamy beige cast and a faint peachy softness. Its high brightness keeps walls looking open and airy, while the warm undertone prevents it from reading stark or icy. In daylight, Dollop Of Cream appears lightly sun-washed; under warm bulbs, it can take on a richer, more buttery cream appearance. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a clean white would feel too sharp, and it can also soften kitchen cabinetry. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, tan leather, muted terracotta, or deeper brown accents for a grounded, layered palette.

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).
