Sheridan White reads as warm and grounded — strong in kitchens, family rooms, and any space where warmth is the dominant mood you're after. At LRV 70 it reflects plenty of light, which makes it well-suited for north-facing rooms and smaller spaces that benefit from extra brightness. Skip it in rooms that already run warm or get strong afternoon sun, where it can tip into an overpowering glow.

Sheridan White Technical Profile
What color is Dutch Boy Sheridan White (415-1DB)? It's a light warm orange — hex #E5D8C0, LRV 70. The closest cross-brand equivalent to Sheridan White is Valspar Lovely Bluff — a near-identical match on the wall, with Vista Paint Arizona Heat and PPG Parchment also close. With a Light Reflectance Value of 70, Sheridan White reflects a generous amount of light, making it well-suited for north-facing rooms or smaller spaces that benefit from extra brightness. Pair it with warm whites like White Dove, white oak floors, and unlacquered brass or copper hardware. Terracotta tile or deep green plants complete an earthy warm palette. At mid saturation, this color sits at a flexible mid-point — bold enough to anchor a room without dominating, and pairs cleanly with both crisp and creamy whites. Oranges glow under 2700K warm bulbs, deepening into rich amber. Under 4000K cool light they can lose warmth and shift toward beige — particularly true for muted or dusty oranges. At mid saturation the lighting shift is moderate but real — sample under both warm-bulb evening light and cool-daylight morning light before committing.
