What color is Sherwin Williams Gardenia?
Sherwin Williams Gardenia SW 6665 is a pale, warm off-white with a noticeable creamy peach-beige undertone. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the gentle warmth prevents it from reading stark or icy. In bright daylight, Gardenia can look like a soft ivory; under warm evening bulbs, its peachy cast becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and living spaces where a light neutral with more color than plain white is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, aged brass, and muted clay or terracotta accents for a cohesive warm palette.

LRV of Gardenia
Gardenia has an LRV of 77.87% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 77.87%, 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.
