What color is Sherwin Williams Nouvelle White?

Sherwin Williams Nouvelle White SW 6273 is a pale off-white with a soft gray base and a faint warm, rosy cast. Its low saturation keeps it quiet on large walls, where it reads more like a softened light gray than a stark white. In cooler daylight, Nouvelle White can appear clean and subtly silvery, while warm bulbs bring out its gentle blush-beige undertone. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways, especially alongside light oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, and muted taupe accents. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, smoky blue-gray, or warm brown wood details.

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 72.41%, 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.
