What color is Sherwin Williams Heron Plume?
Sherwin Williams Heron Plume SW 6070 is a pale, muted off-white with a soft gray-beige cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly creamy, while the #e5e1d8 color value gives it a gentle warmth that prevents a stark, icy appearance. In cooler daylight, Heron Plume can appear more silvery and gray; warmer bulbs tend to draw out its subtle beige side. It suits whole-room walls in bedrooms, living areas, and hallways, especially alongside natural oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, or warm white trim. For a quiet layered look, pair this shade with charcoal accents, clay-toned textiles, or deeper mushroom-brown cabinetry.

LRV of Heron Plume
Heron Plume has an LRV of 75.37% 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 75.37%, 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.
