What color is Sherwin Williams Melon Tint?
Sherwin Williams Melon Tint SW 7117 is a very light, warm off-white with a noticeable peach-beige cast. Its high brightness keeps it airy on large walls, while the soft blush undertone prevents it from reading as plain cream. In daylight, Melon Tint can look like a delicate creamy peach; under incandescent or warm LED lighting, its peach notes become more apparent. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms, and dining spaces where a gentle wash of warmth is wanted without a strong pastel effect. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, terracotta accents, or muted olive and dusty blue details for contrast.

LRV of Melon Tint
Melon Tint has an LRV of 81.93% 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 81.93%, 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.
