What color is Sherwin Williams Whitetail?

Sherwin Williams Whitetail SW 7103 is a pale, creamy off-white with a gentle warm cast rather than a stark, bright-white look. Its soft ivory-beige undertone is visible in the #f4efe4 color value, giving walls a lightly sunlit appearance. In north-facing or cooler light, Whitetail may read as a muted cream, while warm afternoon light brings out more of its buttery warmth. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a clean backdrop is wanted without the sharpness of pure white. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, warm brass, terracotta, or deep olive accents for a grounded, layered interior.

What are Sherwin Williams Whitetail undertones?

Whitetail is a very light, muted off-white with a soft warm-leaning yellow cast in the supplied digital sample. The warmth is subtle rather than strongly creamy, so it can read close to neutral in balanced light while still avoiding a crisp blue-white look. Sherwin-Williams identifies Whitetail as a white paint color but does not describe a specific undertone on the provided official page. Warm artificial lighting may bring out its slight yellow warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and more neutral.

LRV of Whitetail

Whitetail has an LRV of 86.44% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 86.44%, 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.
