Sherwin Williams

Crisp Linen

SW 6378

Crisp Linen (SW, #F3E6D4) is a warm off-white with yellow undertones and a soft beige appearance that reads as a light cream. With an LRV of 81, it reflects substantial light while maintaining a warm cast that distinguishes it from cooler high-reflectance whites. The yellow lean is subtle, producing a natural, unforced warmth rather than an overt color statement.

Sherwin-Williams Navajo White and Wool Skein layer well alongside it in a tonal warm-neutral arrangement. For grounding, earthy mid-tones like Svelte Sage introduce a green complement, and Tobacco provides a deeper brown anchor point within the same warm family.

Crisp Linen in Different Light

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.
