What color is Sherwin Williams Futon?

Sherwin Williams Futon SW 7101 is a very light, warm off-white with a soft beige cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its muted color value gives walls a gentle, low-contrast finish, especially in bedrooms, living rooms, and open-plan spaces. In bright daylight, Futon can appear closer to a pale creamy neutral, while evening or shaded rooms bring out its slightly deeper beige undertone. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm white trim, and brushed brass for a layered neutral scheme. This shade is most effective on broad wall surfaces, where its subtle warmth has room to register.

What are Sherwin Williams Futon undertones?

Futon is a near-white, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Futon

Futon has an LRV of 79.68% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

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).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 79.68%, 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.
