Sherwin Williams

Nebulous White

SW 7063

Nebulous White is a soft cool white with gray undertones that prevent it from reading yellow or pink, keeping it firmly in the neutral-cool category. At an LRV of 74, it reflects significant light and functions well as a ceiling color, trim white, or full-room wall color in spaces where a clean but not sterile white is needed. It holds its cool cast in both natural and artificial light.

Nebulous White pairs with Sherwin-Williams Repose Gray, Agreeable Gray, Extra White, and Mindful Gray for balanced cool-neutral schemes.

Nebulous White 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.
