About Extra White
Extra White LRV and undertone
Sherwin-Williams Extra White (SW 7006) has an LRV of 86, placing it in the light range with high reflectance. Light Reflectance Value measures how much visible light a color reflects, on a scale from 0 to 100. With an LRV of 86, Extra White reflects much of the light that reaches the painted surface. Its color family is White, and its calculated undertone is subtle green. This undertone is not necessarily obvious in every room, but nearby warm whites or cream-colored finishes may make the difference easier to see.
Because daylight varies by orientation, evaluate the color in the room where you intend to use it. North-facing windows generally provide cooler light, while south-facing windows tend to receive warmer light. These conditions can change how subtle undertones appear. Place a sample beside your trim, flooring, and cabinetry, and inspect it at different times. A flatter finish typically reduces surface glare, while higher sheen can create more visible reflections. The sample should match the finish planned for the final application.
