What color is Sherwin Williams Smart White?
Sherwin Williams Smart White SW 6007 is a pale, muted off-white with a noticeable soft pink-beige cast. Its light value keeps it close to white, while the low-saturation undertone gives walls more warmth than a crisp neutral white. In daylight, Smart White can look like a lightly blushed gray-beige; under warm bulbs, the rosy warmth becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, and living rooms where a stark white would feel too sharp. Pair it with warm oak, natural linen, creamy trim, and muted taupe or clay accents for a cohesive look.

LRV of Smart White
Smart White has an LRV of 72.36% 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 72.36%, 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.
