How they read
In their own wordsFrost Bite is Sherwin-Williams SW 9505, which the brand lists in its White paint colors. Sherwin-Williams gives it no further description on its color page; in the room below it reads as a soft white with a little cream in it, warmer than a pure gallery white.
Alabaster (SW 7008) is a soft, creamy white with a faint beige-yellow undertone — warm enough to feel inviting, clean enough to still read as white. At LRV 82 it brightens a room without the starkness of a true white.
