Sherwin Williams

Nacre

SW 6154

Nacre is a soft off-white with warm undertones and a beige-gray cast, reading at an LRV of 76. This high-reflectance value makes it suitable for whole-house application, including living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens where a warm white that avoids stark brightness is needed. The beige-gray cast prevents it from yellowing under warm artificial light.

It coordinates with Alabaster (SW 7008) on trim, Accessible Beige (SW 7036) as a slightly deeper wall option, Shoji White (SW 7042) for tonal consistency, and Moderate White (SW 6140) or Natural Linen (SW 9109) in adjacent rooms.

Nacre 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.
