What color is Sherwin Williams Creamy?
Sherwin Williams Creamy SW 7012 is a soft off-white with noticeable yellow-beige undertones, closer to fresh cream than a crisp gallery white. It brings gentle warmth to north-facing rooms, where it can keep walls from looking flat or chilly, while bright daylight reveals its clean, light appearance. Under warm lamps in the evening, Creamy becomes richer and slightly more buttery without turning gold. It is especially useful on whole-house walls, kitchen cabinetry, trim, and ceilings when a stark white would feel too sharp. Pair it with natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, warm stone, or deep green accents for a grounded, lived-in look.

LRV of Creamy
Creamy has an LRV of 81% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 81%, 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.
