What color is Sherwin Williams Dover White?
Sherwin Williams Dover White SW 6385 is a creamy off-white with clear yellow undertones, closer to fresh cream than a crisp gallery white. In bright daylight, it reads light and sunny, while north-facing rooms or low evening light can bring out its richer, slightly buttery side. It is especially effective on kitchen cabinets, whole-room walls, and trim in homes that already have warm oak floors, beige stone, or natural linen fabrics. Pair it with walnut, aged brass, soft terracotta, or deep green for contrast that does not make the white look stark. If you want white walls without the blue or gray cast common in cooler whites, Dover White provides a softer, warmer backdrop.

LRV of Dover White
Dover White has an LRV of 82.52% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 82.52%, 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.
