1. Alabaster

Sherwin Williams Alabaster (SW 7008) is a bright, creamy off-white (LRV 82). It won’t look yellow, but it is a warm white and will pair exceptionally well with wood tones and earthy colors. Learn more

2. Accessible Beige

One of my favorite Sherwin Williams exterior paint colors of all time. SW 7036 is a Goldilocks shade...not too light, not too dark. It's just right. Learn more

Pair this rich greige (LRV 17) with a warm off-white and dark accents for a timeless look that will never go out of style.

This rich, earthy, warm greige was Sherwin Williams 2021 Color of the Year, so this popular shade earned its place as one of my favorite exterior paint colors.

Its LRV of 2 makes it the darkest exterior paint color on this list, but if you looking for a reliable and surprise-free black? Check out Tricorn Black (SW 6458).

Tip: As a self-proclaimed “frugalista”, I recommend buying a few paint samples of your top choices and using them to paint your swatches. It’s so much cheaper than buying gallons of paint!
