What 70 tells you about Egret White
The published LRV of Sherwin-Williams Egret White SW-7570 is 70. It describes light reflectance; it does not specify an undertone or predict the brightness of your room. Egret White's stone-related description makes it suitable to investigate as a colored off-white, rather than an absence of color.
The choice beside limestone tile and pale wood trim
Pale wood trim may need a different wall relationship from bright painted trim, so it should stay in the sample arrangement.
The editorial priority for this color is off-white walls around a stone-led palette. Place the Egret White board against the actual trim, then move it to the least illuminated part of the proposed wall. Judge the visible boundary from a normal viewing distance. A value that looks suitable on a table may produce too little distinction from one fixed finish and too much from another.
What the comparison can—and cannot—settle
Egret White and City Loft both have a published LRV of 70. That equality describes reflectance, not matching colorants or identical undertones. Egret White is an off-white with stony undertones. The value measures reflectance, so it cannot by itself identify an undertone, a coating finish or the amount of illumination needed in the room. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice.
Allow the stone to set the comparison rather than choosing a white from an isolated screen chip. Do not read LRV 70 as a percentage improvement in perceived room brightness. Make the decision with the board upright at the actual wall or cabinet position, including the least illuminated portion. The north-facing room assessment covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
