Alabaster Sherwin-Williams · SW 7008 LRV 82
Alabaster review: Sherwin-Williams SW 7008
warm off-white, soft yellow-green undertone.
At LRV 82 it brightens a room without the blue-white glare of a true white, which is why it shows up so often as a trim and ceiling color even in houses painted a different wall color.
Alabaster in real light
Same sample board, four compass directions: this is the standardized shot list every color on this site gets, so you can compare across colors and not just across one photographer's living room. Photos for this color are still being shot; the notes below are what to expect from the color's undertone.
North light North light is cool and indirect all day, so it mutes Alabaster's warmth and can make it read flatter and slightly gray.
East light Morning east light is warm and golden, so Alabaster looks brightest and warmest early in the day, then cools and flattens by afternoon as the light moves west.
South light South-facing rooms get the most direct sun all day, which pushes Alabaster's warmth further, sometimes past what the chip suggests.
West light Afternoon west light is warm and can run intense right at sunset, then goes flat and cool in the morning before the sun reaches that side of the house.
What to pair Alabaster with
- White oak floors and trim, which lean into its yellow-green undertone rather than fighting it
- Black window frames for contrast without going stark white
