What color is Sherwin Williams White Heron?

Sherwin Williams White Heron SW 7627 is a pale off-white with a softly warm, muted cast rather than a crisp, blue-white look. Its #e7e1d7 color value shows gentle beige-gray undertones that keep the shade from appearing stark. In bright natural light, White Heron reads as light and clean, while evening lighting can bring out its slightly warmer, oatmeal-like depth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and whole-home walls where a quiet neutral backdrop is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, soft charcoal, or clay-toned accents for a layered, grounded palette.

What are Sherwin Williams White Heron undertones?

White Heron reads as a near-white with a soft, muted character and a very subtle yellow-leaning bias in the supplied digital sample. It stays close to neutral overall, so the warmth is gentle rather than distinctly creamy or beige. Sherwin-Williams identifies it as a white, but the official page provided does not specify an undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out its slight warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and more neutral.

LRV of White Heron

White Heron has an LRV of 76.04% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 76.04%, 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.
