Sherwin-Williams colors.

Sherwin-Williams uses the SW prefix followed by a four-digit number, which makes a code the safest way to distinguish colors with similar names. Most of what people search for here comes down to a handful of adaptable whites and warm grays, with a few deep charcoal accents thrown in for contrast. The range runs wide: high-LRV whites are often compared for trim and ceilings, while midrange neutrals change noticeably between cool north light and warm afternoon exposure. Cross-brand comparison matters most here, because names like Alabaster, Accessible Beige, Agreeable Gray, and Repose Gray are frequently used as reference points even when a project will be finished with another brand. A close screen-color result is still a starting point rather than a formula match. Finish, tint base, substrate, room exposure, and the physical colorants used at the store can all affect the painted result. Compare the numeric distance first, then put real samples beside the fixed finishes already in the room.
