Sherwin Williams

Paperwhite

SW 7105

Paperwhite by Sherwin-Williams is a warm white with creamy beige undertones and a faint yellow cast that distinguishes it from cooler whites. With a high LRV of 87, it reflects most ambient light and reads as a near-white that retains slight warmth. It is practical as a wall color in open-concept layouts, a trim shade, or a ceiling color where cooler whites would appear harsh.

Paperwhite coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Creamy for tonal layering, White Duck for a deeper warm neutral, Clary Sage for a muted green accent, Urbane Bronze for dark contrast, and Moody Blue as a cool-toned complement.
