What color is Sherwin Williams Queen Anne's Lace?

Sherwin Williams Queen Anne's Lace SW 6420 is a very light, softened yellow-green neutral with a creamy, low-saturation appearance. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the gentle yellow cast prevents it from reading like a stark white. In daylight, this shade can appear lightly botanical and fresh; warmer artificial lighting may draw out its creamier side. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and bedrooms where a quiet wash of color is wanted instead of plain off-white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and muted sage or olive accents for a grounded, layered look.

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).
