Sherwin-Williams Egret White SW 7570 is a light warm greige that reads as white only when nothing whiter is nearby. With an LRV of 70 it is bright enough for a whole room, yet deep enough to show as a color against white trim. Our method reads it as a subtle yellow-beige, warm but softened with gray. People weigh it against Agreeable Gray SW 7029 when they want the same idea a shade lighter and closer to white.

Is Egret White warm or cool? Undertones by the numbers

leans yellow

Undertone

Subtle yellow-beige

graysaturated

A gentle lean, quiet on the wall.

Egret White's measured lean is a small amount of yellow with a trace of red. It is the same mix as Aesthetic White SW 7035, a few points deeper. On a wall that depth is what matters: it reads as a soft greige where Aesthetic White reads as an off-white. Beside Snowbound SW 7004 trim it looks warm and slightly beige. Beside a cream such as Alabaster SW 7008 the gray comes forward and it looks cool. With warm oak and brass the beige wins. With gray tile or a cool quartz the trace of red can show as a faint mauve. City Loft SW 7631 is its near twin, a point lighter and a hair grayer; on a wall the two are the same color.

Egret White in north, south, east and west light

In a north-facing room Egret White does what a light greige should. It darkens a step and cools a step, and the beige stays put. The walls read as a soft gray-beige rather than a dirty white. That makes it a better north-room pick than the brighter whites, which go flat there. South rooms warm it toward a creamy off-white by afternoon. East and west rooms show the beige at the sunny end of the day and the gray at the other. Bulbs at 2700K to 3000K keep it true; at 4000K the gray takes over and the walls look colder than the chip.

Watch for

Against a cream such as Alabaster SW 7008 it looks gray, not warm
Under 4000K bulbs or beside cool quartz it can show a faint mauve cast
It is a color, not a white: next to true white trim the greige is plain to see

Best rooms and surfaces for Egret White

Egret White is a living room and open-plan color first, where its lightness keeps the space bright and its greige gives the walls some weight. It runs through a whole house well. It is one of the few light greiges that still reads as a color in a big bright room. Bedrooms take it with white bedding and warm wood. On kitchen cabinets it reads as a soft putty against white walls. It is a fair bathroom color under warm bulbs with white or beige tile. With cool gray tile it turns mauve. Skip it as an accent wall, where it has too little contrast with white to register.

Egret White on an exterior

Egret White is sold for exterior use, and outside it reads as a soft white with a gray-beige cast. Full sun lifts it to near white. A shaded wall shows the greige, and on a house with white trim the siding reads as a pale putty. It suits a stone base, a brown or black roof and black windows. Snowbound SW 7004 on the trim keeps the white crisp, and a door in Urbane Bronze SW 7048 gives the front a warm dark anchor.

Questions about Egret White

Does Egret White look yellow or pink?

In most rooms it looks neither; it looks like a soft greige. Its measured lean is a little yellow with a trace of red. Beside a cool white or under 4000K bulbs the red can show as a faint mauve. Beside a cream white or in south sun the yellow shows and it reads beige. In a room with warm wood and 3000K bulbs it stays a quiet gray-beige.

What colors go with Egret White?

Snowbound SW 7004 is the trim and ceiling white Sherwin-Williams names for it. Its accents are Tin Lizzie SW 9163, a mid gray, and Silken Peacock SW 9059, a deep teal. Beyond that list it suits white oak and walnut, black window frames and brass. A dark green or navy on an island holds against it: Pewter Green SW 6208 and Naval SW 6244 both work.

Is Egret White good for a living room?

Yes, and it is the room most people use it in. It keeps a big room bright while giving the walls enough greige to read as painted, and it flatters a white or linen sofa. Keep the trim in Snowbound SW 7004 or another clean white so the walls have an edge. In a north-facing living room it settles into a soft gray-beige, which is the look many people want from it.

Is Egret White good for cabinets?

It works as a soft putty cabinet color rather than a white one. On doors and drawer fronts it reads as a pale greige, a step quieter than Agreeable Gray SW 7029 on the same cabinets. It suits brass or black hardware, white counters and a wood floor. Give it walls in Snowbound SW 7004 or Pure White SW 7005 so the cabinets read as the colored element.

What is one shade lighter or darker than Egret White?

On its fan-deck strip the next step lighter is Alabaster SW 7008, a jump of 13 points to a cream white. The strip has nothing between them. The next step darker is Crushed Ice SW 7647, four points down and cooler. Among its closest matches, City Loft SW 7631 is a point lighter and the nearest twin, and Windfresh White SW 7628 is a hair darker.
