What color is Sherwin Williams Zurich White?

Sherwin Williams Zurich White SW 7626 is a pale, softly muted off-white with a subtle warm gray-beige cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading creamy or yellow, while the gentle warmth prevents a stark, blue-white look. In bright daylight, Zurich White can appear clean and lightly greige; under warmer lamps, its beige undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits full-wall applications in living rooms, bedrooms, and open-plan spaces where a quiet neutral backdrop is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, linen, matte black hardware, charcoal accents, or earthy stone finishes for a grounded palette.

What are Sherwin Williams Zurich White undertones?

Zurich White is a light, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Zurich White

Zurich White has an LRV of 75.85% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 75.85%, 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.
