Sherwin Williams

Pure White

SW 7005

Pure White is a high-reflectance neutral white from Sherwin-Williams with a faint warm undertone and an LRV of 84. The hex #EDECE6 shows a white carrying very slight yellow-gray warmth, preventing it from reading as stark or clinical. At this LRV, it reflects substantial ambient light and functions effectively as a wall, ceiling, trim, or cabinet finish in nearly any room.

Its near-neutral base sits comfortably next to both warm and cool palettes. It works with Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige for tonal warmth, Shoji White as a similar-value companion, Iron Ore for high contrast, and Urbane Bronze as a dark anchor.
