Antique White SW 6119

Antique White LRV and undertone

Sherwin-Williams Antique White (SW 6119) has an LRV of 72, placing it in the light range. Light Reflectance Value measures how much visible light a surface reflects, so this value indicates relatively high reflectance compared with mid-tone and dark paints. Antique White belongs to the beige color family and has a calculated warm yellow undertone. That combination gives it a different underlying color direction from cooler whites and grays. Its appearance can shift with surrounding materials and the room’s light. North-facing daylight often makes warm undertones less pronounced, while south-facing light can emphasize them. Compare a sample with the actual flooring, countertops, and trim, since nearby whites may make small undertone differences easier to see. The finish also affects how light reflects from the painted surface.

Sherwin-Williams White Duck (SW 7010) has an LRV of 74 and a ΔE of 3.8, making it lighter by reflectance.

Choose a lower-LRV alternative when you want less reflected light and more depth. A higher-LRV option may suit spaces where maintaining brightness matters. Test the colors beside the intended trim to judge their relative warmth and contrast.
