What color is Sherwin Williams White Hyacinth?
Sherwin Williams White Hyacinth SW 0046 is a pale, creamy off-white with a noticeable peach-beige cast. Its #f3e5d1 color value gives it a gentle warmth that keeps white walls from feeling stark, especially in north-facing rooms or spaces with cool daylight. In brighter sun, White Hyacinth can read as a light, softly tinted cream, while evening lighting tends to bring out its warmer beige undertone. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and living areas where a low-contrast backdrop is desired, and it can also soften painted cabinetry. Pair it with natural oak, warm white trim, linen upholstery, terracotta accents, or muted olive and clay tones for a grounded palette.

LRV of White Hyacinth
White Hyacinth has an LRV of 79.68% 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 79.68%, 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.
