What color is Sherwin Williams Snowbound?

Sherwin Williams Snowbound SW 7004 is a soft off-white with a faint gray cast and a subtle pink-violet undertone that keeps it from reading stark. In bright daylight, it can look clean and lightly cool, while warm lamps tend to bring out its gentler, slightly rosy side. It is especially useful on whole-room walls, trim, or kitchen cabinets when pure white would feel too sharp. Snowbound pairs naturally with pale oak, walnut, linen upholstery, honed stone, and aged brass. In north-facing rooms, test it first, since the gray undertone can become more noticeable and give the walls a quieter, cooler appearance.

What are Sherwin Williams Snowbound undertones?

Snowbound reads as a very light, low-saturation near-white with a largely neutral overall appearance. In the supplied digital sample, there is a faint yellow-leaning direction, but it is too subtle to support a confident undertone label. Sherwin-Williams identifies it simply as a white, without making an undertone claim. Warm artificial light may make its slight warmth more noticeable, while cool daylight can help it appear more neutral.

LRV of Snowbound

Snowbound has an LRV of 82.77% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 82.77%, 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.
