Sherwin Williams

Pearly White

SW 7009

Pearly White is a warm off-white from Sherwin-Williams with beige and cream undertones, evident in its hex value (#E8E3D9) where the blue channel sits noticeably lower than red and green. At an LRV of 77, it reflects most ambient light and reads close to white in bright conditions while showing its warm tint more in shaded or north-facing rooms. It is commonly used for whole-house walls, ceilings, and trim as a softer alternative to pure white.

Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige and Shoji White coordinate as deeper companions, Urbane Bronze provides dark contrast, and Alabaster works for ceilings.
