Sherwin Williams

Cheviot

SW 9503

Winter Wheat (hex #EBE3CF) is an off-white with clearly creamy, warm undertones that distinguish it from cooler whites and grays. With an LRV of 74.29, it maintains high light reflectance while reading warmer and richer than a standard white. The cream cast is steady across lighting conditions, though it deepens slightly under incandescent bulbs.

Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Swiss Coffee share its warm neutral character for a layered monochromatic approach. Chelsea Gray and Kendall Charcoal work as darker accents, while Palladian Blue and Soft Fern introduce controlled color contrast without clashing.

Cheviot in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
