Sherwin Williams

Cotton White

SW 7104

Cotton White (hex #F7EFE3) is a warm white from Sherwin-Williams with a yellow undertone that produces a soft, slightly creamy cast rather than a stark, clinical brightness. At an LRV of 87, it reflects a high amount of light while maintaining enough warmth to distinguish it from cooler whites. The yellow lean is mild enough to avoid reading as beige in most lighting conditions.

Alabaster and Creamy share its warm white family and work well together for trim and wall pairings. Naval and Secret Garden offer strong, saturated contrast, while Temperate Taupe provides a muted mid-tone bridge.
