What color is Sherwin Williams Kestrel White?
Sherwin Williams Kestrel White SW 7516 is a light, muted off-white with a clearly warm beige cast. Its soft cream-and-tan undertones keep it from reading stark, while the low saturation gives the color a gently weathered, understated look. In bright daylight, Kestrel White appears pale and airy; under warmer interior lighting, its beige influence becomes more noticeable. It suits living room and bedroom walls, as well as trim or cabinetry where a softer alternative to bright white is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm gray stone, charcoal accents, or dusty green details for a grounded palette.

LRV of Kestrel White
Kestrel White has an LRV of 68.1% 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 68.1%, 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.
