Sherwin Williams

Oyster White

SW 7637

A green-beige cast shapes Oyster White's creamy base. Its warmth becomes clearer beside 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.

Accessible Beige creates tonal neutral layering, and Shoji White moves one step lighter. Dovetail adds medium-depth gray contrast, Sea Salt follows the green direction, and Slate Tile supplies the deepest accent.

Oyster 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.
