Sherwin Williams

Alabaster

SW 7008

Alabaster (SW, #EDEAE0) is a soft warm white carrying subtle beige undertones that lend a creamy quality without shifting toward yellow. At an LRV of 82, it reflects a high amount of light while reading noticeably softer than a pure white, maintaining a neutral appearance under most lighting conditions. It holds its warmth alongside Shoji White and pairs cleanly with Accessible Beige for a tonal scheme.

Deeper companions like Urbane Bronze or Pewter Green provide grounding contrast, and a muted sage such as Evergreen Fog rounds out a natural, layered palette.

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.
