What color is Sherwin Williams French Vanilla?
Sherwin Williams French Vanilla SW 7118 is a very light cream with a noticeable warm, peach-beige cast. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the soft yellow and pink influence prevents it from reading as a stark white. In bright daylight, French Vanilla can look lightly buttery and clean; under warmer bulbs, its creamy undertone becomes more apparent. It suits kitchens, dining rooms, and bedrooms alongside natural oak, honey-toned wood, linen upholstery, warm white trim, and muted clay or olive accents.

LRV of French Vanilla
French Vanilla has an LRV of 82.89% 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 82.89%, 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.
