What color is Sherwin Williams White Flour?

Sherwin Williams White Flour SW 7102 is a pale off-white with a soft, creamy warmth visible in its #f4efe5 color value. It reads lighter and gentler than a beige, while its subtle yellow-beige cast keeps it from looking stark or icy. In bright daylight, White Flour can appear clean and lightly warmed; under warmer evening bulbs, its creaminess becomes more noticeable. Use it on walls, ceilings, or trim when you want a quiet backdrop for natural oak, woven fibers, linen upholstery, and warm stone. It also suits cabinetry in rooms that need a light finish without the sharper look of a pure white.

What are Sherwin Williams White Flour undertones?

White Flour is a very light, softly muted white with a subtle yellow-leaning bias in the supplied digital sample, giving it a gently warm overall character rather than a stark or icy look. That warmth is slight and low-confidence at this depth, so it may read close to neutral depending on surrounding colors and finishes. Sherwin-Williams identifies it as a white paint color but does not describe a specific undertone on the provided official page. Warm artificial light may make its faint warmth more noticeable, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and more neutral.

LRV of White Flour

White Flour has an LRV of 86.54% 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 86.54%, 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.
