What color is Sherwin Williams Pineapple Cream?
Sherwin Williams Pineapple Cream SW 1668 is a light, creamy yellow with a soft warm cast and a muted, low-saturation appearance. Its pale value keeps the color from feeling overly sunny, reading more like a buttery off-white on broad walls. In bright daylight, Pineapple Cream can show its gentle yellow tone more clearly, while lower or warmer lighting may make it appear deeper and creamier. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and hallways where a warm neutral can add color without dominating the room. Pair it with crisp white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and muted greens or dusty blue accents for grounded contrast.

LRV of Pineapple Cream
Pineapple Cream has an LRV of 82% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 82%, 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.
