About Dover White
Dover White LRV and undertone
Sherwin-Williams Dover White (SW 6385) has an LRV of 83, placing it in the light range of the white color family. Light Reflectance Value measures how much visible light a painted surface reflects. An LRV of 83 indicates high reflectance, so the color generally helps maintain a bright appearance when the room has adequate lighting. Dover White has a calculated warm yellow undertone and a hex value of #F0EADC. This undertone distinguishes it from whites that lean cooler, although the surrounding colors and light source can change the perceived warmth. In rooms with warm bulbs, yellow undertones may become more noticeable. Compare a sample with the intended ceiling, trim, and flooring before painting. Differences between whites can be especially apparent when two finishes meet along the same edge.
