Sherwin Williams

Whitetail

SW 7103

Whitetail is a warm white with light beige undertones that give it a creamy quality without appearing yellow. At an LRV of 86, it falls in the high-reflectance category and will significantly brighten any room. Its warm, low-saturation base stays close to white while feeling softer than a cool or pure white.

It suits whole-house wall applications, ceilings, and trim in both traditional and modern interiors. It works alongside Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige for a step-down wall tone, Dover White as a near-match, Tricorn Black for sharp contrast, and Creamy for tonal layering.
