Sherwin Williams Everyday White
Choosing a paint color is a big decision that takes a lot of consideration. Whether it’s a room or entire home, you only want to do it once.
I don’t take paint color decisions lightly, but fortunately for you, you can! I am taking the guesswork out of selecting paint colors detailing pros, cons, features, styles, where to use it, colors to pair, sheens and more so all you have to do is sample to confirm.
When selecting paint colors for the exterior of our home, we sampled a lot of colors, viewing them morning, noon, day and night to see which offered the best appearance 24 hours a day.
As we were closer to the right color swatches, we started to paint larger swatches onto our home to confirm. 4 years later, I highly recommend it. It’s an all around great go to!
I love chatting paint with you – don’t miss my favorite Warm Whites and Greige Paint Colors!
Sherwin Williams Everyday White won because it is a soft cream that makes a pretty backdrop. It works well with landscaping (helped us tone down the brick without painting it), and made our home feel up-to-date.
It would be pretty on an entire exterior, wouldn’t it? I love it for both traditional and modern homes. More details about this warm white paint color…

What is the LRV of Everyday White?
You may be asking What is LRV? LRV is an acronym for Light Reflectance Value.
It measures the percentage of amount light a paint color reflects, which is something I look for in all of my interior paint colors in particular to prevent our home from feeling dark.
It has a LRV of 72 (100 being the highest, black being 0).

Hi Julie, can you perhaps explain how a Everyday White is different from Creamy?
Hi!! SW Creamy is reading very yellow in my home. I have a lot of green grass and trees reflecting. What is another white color you would recommend for a timeless Santa Barbara/ old house white.
Hi Carrie!

Julie,
Is the stucco Everyday White or the Tudor Board Trim? Thanks for your wonderful blog and helpful photos!

We are in the process of painting our circa 1875 house in Everyday White with Realist Beige for the trim. It is looking great with our brick chimney and looks nice with our landscaping, just like you mentioned. In a word, it looks โclassyโ. Thank you for the inspiration! Do you have any suggestions for a front door color to coordinate?
They’re really easy colors to work with – you can go a step darker than realist beige! That’s what I would do!
Love your style! I’m wanting to update from SW Lenox Tan (gold tone) to a lighter, more modern vibe. I also integrate special vintage pieces that I love. Although I love the look, I’m afraid of going quite as light as you have in your home. Any suggestions for neutral paint shades that are slightly deeper than ‘cream’? Anyone else have luck with updating from darker to lighter walls? Thanks!
Soft Chamois is my absolute favorite for interiors – I think you’d really enjoy it. However, if you want to go darker, try Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist, Natural Cream, or Fog Mist. A quality paint with cover without any problems. Enjoy!
