What color is Sherwin Williams Rice Grain?
Sherwin Williams Rice Grain SW 6155 is a light, muted beige with a soft creamy cast and gentle yellow-tan undertones. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly golden, giving walls a quiet, lightly weathered look rather than a bright ivory finish. In cool natural light, Rice Grain can appear more neutral and subdued, while warm artificial lighting brings out its creamier side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a pale neutral is wanted without the starkness of white. Pair it with warm wood, linen upholstery, aged brass, soft charcoal, or deeper brown accents for contrast.

LRV of Rice Grain
Rice Grain has an LRV of 63.61% 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 63.61%, 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.
