What color is Sherwin Williams Hush White?
Sherwin Williams Hush White SW 6042 is a pale off-white with a muted blush-beige cast, giving it more warmth than a stark white. Its light value keeps rooms open and bright, while the subtle rosy undertone adds gentle color without reading overtly pink. In bright daylight, Hush White can appear softly creamy and airy; under warmer lamps, its beige-pink notes become more noticeable. It suits bedroom, living room, and bathroom walls where a plain white would feel too sharp, and it can also soften ceiling or trim details. Pair it with natural oak, warm gray stone, linen textiles, dusty mauve accents, or deeper brown for contrast.

LRV of Hush White
Hush White has an LRV of 71.79% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 71.79%, 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.
