Sherwin Williams

White Flour

SW 7102

White Flour is a warm white with soft creamy undertones that position it between a clean white and a pale beige. Its LRV of 87 places it in the high-reflectance range, so it will brighten rooms considerably while reading warmer than a pure white. The slight yellow-beige lean is more evident in north-facing rooms.

It works well for open-plan living areas, kitchens, and ceilings. Compatible Sherwin-Williams colors include Accessible Beige for a deeper wall tone, Canvas Tan for warm contrast, Urbane Bronze for dark accents, and Alabaster as a ceiling option.

White Flour 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.
