What color is Sherwin Williams Site White?

Sherwin Williams Site White SW 7070 is a very light gray-white with a faint green cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its low saturation gives walls a soft, misty appearance, especially in rooms with ample natural daylight. Under warmer lamps, Site White can look more neutral and gently softened, while cooler daylight may bring out its quiet gray-green lean. It is well suited to open living areas, bedrooms, and clean-lined kitchens, where it can provide contrast against crisp white trim without creating a hard edge. Pair it with pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or muted sage and blue-gray textiles.

LRV of Site White

Site White has an LRV of 72.96% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?

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).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 72.96%, 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.
