What color is Sherwin Williams Nonchalant White?
Sherwin Williams Nonchalant White SW 6161 is a pale, muted off-white with a soft gray-beige cast and a gentle warmth. Its low saturation keeps it from reading creamy or bright, giving walls a lightly weathered, understated look instead. In sunny rooms, the color can appear warmer and slightly more beige, while cooler daylight or shaded spaces bring out its quiet gray-green lean. Nonchalant White suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and whole-home wall color schemes where a crisp white would feel too stark. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, charcoal accents, or deeper olive and taupe tones for a grounded palette.

LRV of Nonchalant White
Nonchalant White has an LRV of 71.83% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 71.83%, 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.
