What color is Sherwin Williams Pearly White?
Sherwin Williams Pearly White SW 7009 is a soft off-white with gentle creamy-beige warmth rather than a sharp, bright-white look. It has a lightly muted quality that keeps walls from feeling stark, especially alongside natural oak, linen upholstery, honed stone, and aged brass. In north-facing rooms, the warmth helps counter cooler daylight, while evening lamps can bring out its faint buttery cast. Pearly White suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where you want a pale backdrop with more softness than a crisp gallery white. Pair it with walnut furniture, dusty blue textiles, dark green accents, or terracotta pottery for contrast that still feels grounded.

What are Sherwin Williams Pearly White undertones?
Pearly White reads as a very light, low-saturation off-white with a soft warm-leaning character rather than a crisp, stark white. In the supplied digital sample, the subtle visible bias trends slightly yellow, though it is muted enough that the undertone may shift in appearance with surrounding colors and lighting. Sherwin-Williams identifies it as a white paint color but does not state a specific undertone on the provided official page. Warm artificial light may bring out its gentle creamy cast, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and closer to neutral.

LRV of Pearly White
Pearly White has an LRV of 77.33% 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 77.33%, 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.
