What color is Sherwin Williams Reticence?
Sherwin Williams Reticence SW 6064 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable rosy-gray cast that keeps it from reading yellow. Its soft warmth makes it comfortable for bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways, while the low saturation gives walls a quiet, gently weathered look. In warm daylight, Reticence can show more of its blush-beige side; under cooler artificial light, its gray undertone becomes more apparent. Pair it with creamy white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass for a layered neutral scheme. It is especially well suited to broad wall areas where its subtle undertones have room to show.

What are Sherwin Williams Reticence undertones?
Reticence is a light, very muted muted beige. The HEX sample has a subtle orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear 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 Reticence
Reticence has an LRV of 62.35% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 62.35%, 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.
