Sherwin-Williams paint colors

Counting US searches that name Sherwin-Williams and the color together, Alabaster SW 7008 is looked up most, then Iron Ore SW 7069 and Greek Villa SW 7551. Agreeable Gray SW 7029 gets the most searches without the brand name of any color. The pages here rank colors by that demand, not by sales, so the order can differ from the brand's own best-seller list.

Alabaster SW 7008 is the Sherwin-Williams white people search for most, then Greek Villa SW 7551 and Snowbound SW 7004. What separates them on a wall is which way each leans and how it holds in a north-facing room, and each page measures both.

Universal Khaki SW 6150, a warm mid-tone khaki, chosen together with HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams. It has an LRV of 41, light with some depth, moodier in a dim room, so it holds up on all four walls where there is daylight to feed it.

A store can tint Sherwin-Williams paint to another brand's chip, but the result matches the chip, not the paint, and can land a shade off. Neither Swiss Coffee OC-45 nor White Dove OC-17 exists in the Sherwin-Williams deck under that name. The nearest by measurement: for Swiss Coffee it is Cotton SW 9581, a near twin; for White Dove it is Cold Foam SW 9504, very close. Every Benjamin Moore and Farrow & Ball page on this site ends with its closest Sherwin-Williams colors.

In Sherwin-Williams' own stores, which carry the whole color line, and at Lowe's, which stocks the HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams lines. Home Depot does not sell it.
