Sherwin Williams

Heron Plume

SW 6070

Heron Plume is a soft warm off-white with greige undertones and an LRV of 75, providing strong light reflectance while avoiding the starkness of a pure white. The greige cast blends gray and beige, giving it a quiet warmth that reads neutral across most lighting conditions. It works well as a whole-house color, in bedrooms, and on ceilings.

Pair it with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster for a tone-on-tone trim effect, Urbane Bronze for contrast, and Repose Gray for complementary depth. Accessible Beige and Iron Ore also coordinate well.

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.
