Sherwin Williams

Moderate White

SW 6140

Moderate White is a soft warm off-white with beige undertones, posting an LRV of 74. It sits comfortably in the high-light range without appearing stark, offering a warm base that reads as a tinted white in well-lit spaces. The beige cast keeps it from feeling clinical on trim or cabinetry.

It coordinates well with SW Accessible Beige, SW Balanced Beige, SW Urbane Bronze, SW Ivory Lace, and SW Shiitake. This color functions reliably in kitchens, living rooms, and whole-house applications where a warm white foundation is required.
