What color is Sherwin Williams White Iris?
Sherwin Williams White Iris SW 6812 is a very light blue-gray with a clean, cool cast and a softly muted finish. Its pale value keeps walls looking airy, while the blue-gray undertone gives it more definition than a standard off-white. In bright daylight, White Iris can read almost silvery white; lower or north-facing light tends to reveal its cooler gray-blue character. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and softly tailored living spaces where a crisp but not stark wall color is wanted. Pair it with white trim, brushed nickel, pale oak, charcoal accents, or navy textiles for a measured, cohesive look.

LRV of White Iris
White Iris has an LRV of 75.83% 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 75.83%, 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.
