Sherwin Williams

Oyster White

SW 7637

Oyster White (Sherwin-Williams) is a creamy off-white with identifiable green-beige undertones that prevent it from reading as a stark or cool white. Its LRV of 72 places it in the high-reflectance range, making it suitable for full-room coverage and trim applications where warmth is preferred. The green-beige cast becomes more apparent when placed next to pure whites.

Within the Sherwin-Williams line, it pairs with Accessible Beige for a tonal neutral layering, Shoji White for a lighter companion, Dovetail for a medium-depth gray contrast, Sea Salt for a green-aligned analogous match, and Slate Tile for a deeper accent.

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.
