Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Extra White leans cool where Antique White reads warm. Both belong to the white family.

How they read

In their own words

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.

Antique White is a Lime Wash colour from Portola Paints & Glazes, described by the brand as "a bright white with a subtle warm undertone". Portola also sells it as colour-matched paint for ceilings, doors and trim.
