Sherwin Williams

Ethereal White

SW 6182

Ethereal White is a soft off-white with warm cream undertones and a faint gray cast that keeps it from reading too yellow in bright light. With an LRV of 76, it reflects a high amount of light and functions well as a whole-house wall color, ceiling treatment, or trim shade in bedrooms, kitchens, and open living areas. It pairs cleanly with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Agreeable Gray, Accessible Beige, and Repose Gray, creating smooth tonal transitions across connected rooms.

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.
