What color is Sherwin Williams Moderate White?
Sherwin Williams Moderate White SW 6140 is a light, warm off-white with a soft beige cast rather than a crisp, bright-white appearance. Its muted color value keeps it gentle on large wall areas, where it reads as a creamy neutral with subtle warmth. In direct daylight, Moderate White can appear lighter and cleaner, while lower or warmer artificial light brings out its beige-tan undertone. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces that need a pale backdrop without the starkness of pure white. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm gray stone, aged brass, or deeper brown accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Moderate White
Moderate White has an LRV of 73.87% 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 73.87%, 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.
