White Sesame

SW 9586

White Sesame (SW) is a warm white with neutral undertones, designated by hex #E3DBCD. It has an LRV of 71, placing it in the high-reflectance category suitable for brightening interior spaces. The neutral undertone prevents it from reading as stark or cool compared to pure whites.

Within Sherwin-Williams, it pairs with Creamy, Alabaster, Naval, Tricorn Black, and Contented. White Sesame serves as a functional wall color or trim option in living rooms, dining areas, and transitional spaces where a soft, high-LRV white with warmth is needed.
