What color is Sherwin Williams Superwhite?
Sherwin Williams Superwhite SW 6995 is a very pale, lightly cool off-white with a faint gray-cyan cast visible in its #e8eaea color value. It reads clean rather than creamy, with nearly equal green and blue influence keeping the color slightly removed from a pure white. On broad walls, Superwhite can create a soft, low-contrast backdrop that lets darker furnishings and artwork stand out. It suits contemporary kitchens, bathrooms, and trim where a subdued white is preferred over a bright stark finish. Pair it with charcoal, black metal, weathered oak, or muted blue-gray textiles to reinforce its restrained coolness.

LRV of Superwhite
Superwhite has an LRV of 79.81% 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 79.81%, 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.
