What color is Sherwin Williams Tea Light?
Sherwin Williams Tea Light SW 7681 is a pale, creamy yellow with a clear warm peach-beige cast. Its high lightness keeps it airy rather than buttery, while the soft saturation prevents it from reading as bright yellow on a large wall. In north-facing rooms, Tea Light may appear quieter and more biscuit-toned; direct afternoon sun brings out its gentle golden warmth. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, nurseries, and softly lit living areas where a white would feel too stark. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and muted clay or terracotta accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Tea Light
Tea Light has an LRV of 79.15% 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 79.15%, 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.
