What color is Sherwin Williams Sprout?
Sherwin Williams Sprout SW 6427 is a very light, muted yellow-green with a soft, creamy cast. Its low saturation keeps it close to an off-white, while the gentle green undertone gives it more character than a standard ivory. In bright daylight, Sprout can read as a pale, slightly earthy neutral; warmer bulbs bring out its subtle buttery warmth. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, bedrooms, and softly painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and brushed brass. Pair it with subdued sage, clay beige, or charcoal accents for definition without overwhelming its delicate color.

What are Sherwin Williams Sprout undertones?
Sprout is a light, very muted cream. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Sprout
Sprout has an LRV of 76.52% 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 76.52%, 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.
