The difference

Read from the numbers

How they read

In their own words

Accessible Beige (SW 7036) leans further into beige than most greiges, with a soft brown-gold base that reads warm and grounded. At an LRV near 58 it's a hair deeper than Agreeable Gray, giving rooms a cozier, more traditional feel.

Extra White is a bright, slightly cool white — the closest Sherwin-Williams gets to a gallery wall. At LRV 86 it is crisp and reflective, with a faint blue-grey lean that keeps it clean rather than creamy. It is the white for architecture: plaster reliefs, coffered ceilings, a bank of steel windows.
