What color is Sherwin Williams Marshmallow?

Sherwin Williams Marshmallow SW 7001 is a pale off-white with a gentle creamy-beige cast rather than a stark, icy white. Its high lightness keeps walls looking open, while the soft warmth prevents the color from feeling clinical. In bright natural light, Marshmallow reads as a clean, lightly warmed white; in lower or cooler light, its beige undertone becomes a little more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and ceilings where a soft white is wanted without strong contrast. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm brass, muted clay tones, or deeper brown-gray accents for a grounded palette.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 81.73%, 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.
