What color is Sherwin Williams Sagey?

Sherwin Williams Sagey SW 6175 is a very light, muted off-white with a soft yellow-beige cast. Its low saturation keeps it understated, while the slightly reduced blue in the color gives it a gentle warmth rather than a crisp, icy appearance. In bright daylight, Sagey can read close to a pale creamy white; in lower or warmer light, its subdued khaki-beige undertone is more noticeable. It suits broad wall areas in bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways, especially alongside natural oak, woven textures, warm white trim, and stone with beige or sand notes. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper olive, charcoal, or dark brown accents.

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).

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.
