Sherwin Williams

Pewter Tankard

SW 0023

Wood Ash is a light neutral from Benjamin Moore with an LRV of 76.62, reflecting a high proportion of light and functioning effectively as a near-off-white in well-lit rooms. Its hex value #EEE4D0 reveals subtle yellow undertones, giving it a slightly warm, creamy cast rather than a stark or cool reading. These yellow-beige undertones become more apparent when placed next to pure whites and may read warmer under incandescent lighting.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee and White Dove for a layered neutral scheme, while Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy provide strong value contrast and Palladian Blue introduces a cool complement.

Pewter Tankard 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.
