What color is Sherwin Williams Spinach White?
Sherwin Williams Spinach White SW 6434 is a very light off-white with a muted green-yellow cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its soft, low-saturation color gives walls a lightly tinted appearance, especially in daylight, where the gentle green undertone is more noticeable. Under warmer evening lighting, Spinach White can appear creamier and slightly more subdued. It suits kitchens, bedrooms, and living areas where a clean pale backdrop is wanted without the crispness of pure white. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, warm brass, muted olive accents, or deeper gray-green cabinetry for a connected look.

LRV of Spinach White
Spinach White has an LRV of 79.39% 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 79.39%, 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.
