What color is Sherwin Williams Simple White?
Sherwin Williams Simple White SW 7021 is a light, softened off-white with a gentle warm-gray cast rather than a crisp, bright-white look. Its muted beige and taupe influence keeps the color grounded, with enough gray to prevent it from reading overly creamy. In bright daylight, Simple White can appear pale and airy, while warmer evening lighting brings out its subtle softness. It suits living room and bedroom walls where a low-contrast backdrop is wanted, and it can also look clean but not stark on trim or cabinetry. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm stone, charcoal accents, or dusty green tones for a restrained, layered palette.

LRV of Simple White
Simple White has an LRV of 69.82% 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 69.82%, 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.
