Sherwin Williams

Billowy Breeze

SW 9055

Biscuit (#EBDDCB) is a warm off-white with peach-beige undertones and an LRV of 74, making it a high-reflectance color that brightens rooms without the starkness of pure white. The peach and beige base gives it a distinctly warm lean, which is visible in both natural and artificial light. It reads as a tinted neutral rather than a true white, so it softens surfaces while still functioning as a light backdrop.

Sherwin-Williams Nomadic Desert and Kilim Beige extend its warm range, while Alabaster provides a lighter ceiling or trim option. A muted sage or slate blue offsets the warmth.

Billowy Breeze 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.
