What color is Sherwin Williams White Raisin?
Sherwin Williams White Raisin SW 7685 is a light, golden beige with a noticeable sun-warmed yellow cast. Its #e5c28b color value gives it more color than an off-white, yet it remains soft enough for broad wall coverage in living rooms, dining areas, or hallways. In bright natural light, White Raisin can read as creamy and lightly honeyed; lower or warmer artificial light brings out its richer tan-gold character. Pair it with crisp white trim for contrast, or layer it with warm woods, natural linen, rattan, and aged brass. It also suits kitchen cabinetry or a painted accent wall where a pale neutral would feel too cool or plain.

LRV of White Raisin
White Raisin has an LRV of 57.31% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 57.31%, 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.
