What color is Sherwin Williams Nacre?

Sherwin Williams Nacre SW 6154 is a light, softly muted cream with a noticeable beige cast and a gentle touch of yellow warmth. Its low saturation keeps it from looking overly buttery, giving walls a quiet, lightly weathered appearance instead. In bright daylight, Nacre can read cleaner and paler, while evening or north-facing light may bring forward its warmer beige undertone. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a pale neutral is wanted without the starkness of white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and earthy taupe or muted green accents.

What are Sherwin Williams Nacre undertones?

Nacre is a light, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Nacre

Nacre has an LRV of 76.42% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

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 76.42%, 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.
