What color is Sherwin Williams White Snow?
Sherwin Williams White Snow SW 9541 is a very light off-white with a faint creamy-yellow cast visible in its #f5f4ee color value. It reads soft rather than stark, making it a useful choice for walls where a pure, bright white might feel too sharp. In daylight, White Snow should appear clean and lightly warmed, while lower or warmer artificial light can bring out its subtle ivory character. Use it across living rooms, bedrooms, or ceilings for a quiet pale backdrop, and pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, pale stone, or muted greige accents. Because it is so close to white, this shade is best appreciated alongside materials with a little texture or tonal contrast.
LRV of White Snow
White Snow has an LRV of 90.33% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 90.33%, 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.
