What color is Sherwin Williams Moderne White?
Sherwin Williams Moderne White SW 6168 is a light, softened off-white with a gentle gray-beige cast. Its muted warmth keeps it from reading stark, while the low saturation gives walls a quiet, lightly weathered look rather than a creamy one. In bright daylight, Moderne White can appear pale and clean with a faint warm-gray undertone; in lower or warmer light, its beige influence becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and whole-house wall color schemes where crisp white would feel too sharp. Pair this shade with natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, charcoal accents, or deeper mushroom and taupe tones.

LRV of Moderne White
Moderne White has an LRV of 74.47% 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 74.47%, 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.
