What color is Sherwin Williams Original White?

Sherwin Williams Original White SW 7077 is a very light, low-saturation off-white with a soft gray cast and a faint warm blush from its subtly rosy-beige undertone. It reads cleaner and cooler than cream, yet avoids the starkness of a bright white. In north-facing or dim rooms, Original White can appear like a pale, softened gray, while warmer daylight brings out its gentle warmth. It suits broad wall areas, ceilings, and trim when a quiet contrast is preferred over crisp white-on-white. Pair it with charcoal, weathered oak, brushed nickel, muted taupe, or dusty blue accents for a restrained, layered interior.

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 73.55%, 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.
