What color is Sherwin Williams Extra White?
Sherwin Williams Extra White SW 7006 is a very light, low-saturation white with a subtle cool, slightly green-gray cast visible beside warmer whites. Its clean appearance keeps walls bright without reading stark or icy. In daylight, the pale green undertone may be easier to notice, while warmer evening lighting can make this color look softer and more neutral. Use Extra White on trim, ceilings, cabinetry, or whole-room walls with charcoal, soft blue-gray, muted green, and natural wood finishes. It also provides a crisp backdrop for black metal details, pale stone, and brushed nickel.

LRV of Extra White
Extra White has an LRV of 85.86% 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 85.86%, 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.
