What color is Sherwin Williams Panda White?

Sherwin Williams Panda White SW 6147 is a light, softly muted off-white with a noticeable warm beige cast. Its #eae2d4 color value keeps it from reading as stark white, giving walls a gentle, lightly creamy appearance without strong yellow saturation. In bright daylight, Panda White can look clean and airy, while evening lighting tends to bring out its warmer, sand-like undertone. It is well suited to whole-room walls, ceilings, and trim where a softer alternative to pure white is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm gray stone, or deep brown accents for a grounded interior palette.

What are Sherwin Williams Panda White undertones?

Panda White 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 Panda White

Panda White has an LRV of 76.5% 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 76.5%, 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.
