What color is Sherwin Williams Pussywillow?
Sherwin Williams Pussywillow SW 7643 is a light, muted gray-beige with a soft, slightly warm cast. Its low saturation keeps it understated on broad walls, where it reads as a gentle taupe-gray rather than a crisp neutral. In bright daylight, the pale gray side is more noticeable, while warmer artificial lighting can bring forward its beige, stone-like quality. Pussywillow suits bedrooms, living rooms, and quiet hallways, especially alongside off-white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and brushed nickel or aged brass details. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper charcoal, warm brown, or dusty blue accents.

What are Sherwin Williams Pussywillow undertones?
Pussywillow is a mid-light, very muted muted beige. 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 Pussywillow
Pussywillow has an LRV of 42.09% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 42.09%, 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.
