What color is Sherwin Williams Hinoki?
Sherwin Williams Hinoki SW 7686 is a light, creamy peach-beige with clear warm golden and apricot undertones. Its high brightness keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the soft orange cast gives it more character than a standard ivory. In north-facing rooms, Hinoki may read as a muted biscuit cream; direct afternoon sun brings out its sunnier peach warmth. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and powder rooms where a gentle warm backdrop is wanted, and can also soften painted cabinetry. Pair it with warm white trim, honeyed oak, natural linen, aged brass, or deeper clay and terracotta accents.

LRV of Hinoki
Hinoki has an LRV of 75.11% 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 75.11%, 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.
