What color is Sherwin Williams Paper Lantern?
Sherwin Williams Paper Lantern SW 7676 is a light, creamy beige with a clear warm, peach-leaning cast. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the soft tan undertone gives it more presence than a stark off-white. In south- or west-facing rooms, Paper Lantern can read sunnier and slightly more golden; cooler daylight may bring out its muted beige side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas where a gentle warm neutral is wanted, especially alongside natural oak, woven fibers, linen upholstery, and warm white trim. Pair this shade with earthy clay accents, muted olive, or deeper brown furniture for contrast without making the palette feel harsh.

LRV of Paper Lantern
Paper Lantern has an LRV of 75.93% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 75.93%, 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.
