What color is Sherwin Williams Patient White?

Sherwin Williams Patient White SW 6301 is a very light, warm off-white with a soft blush-beige cast. Its low saturation keeps the pink undertone subtle, so it reads more like a gently tinted white than a distinctly rosy color. In bright daylight, Patient White can look airy and pale, while evening light tends to bring out its warmer, powdery peach-pink notes. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, bathrooms, and living areas where a stark white would feel too crisp. Pair it with creamy whites, pale oak, warm brass, linen upholstery, or muted clay and mushroom accents for a cohesive finish.

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 77.42%, 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.
