Compared to another Sherwin Williams classic, Alabaster SW 7008, Origami White offers a bit more interest and dimension. This color goes on beautifully because it’s not too warm and not too cool, but rather that perfect in-between shade. It has a slightly greige undertone which helps it feel modern and fresh. Origami White is still on the neutral spectrum of whites and would be considered an off-white.
If you want something a bit warmer than Creamy then we recommend Sherwin Williams Dover White SW 6285 because it offers a lot of that same warmth without quite as much depth. This is why Creamy makes our list because it has just a bit of warmth without looking too yellow. Compared to a pure white, you still have a nice dimensional layering look. Creamy pairs well with dark, cool, and warmer colors. This is a great option if you’re looking for something that’s sophisticated and fresh without feeling sterile. Creamy is a warmer white that has yellow undertones so it’s what we might consider a soft white. It reminds us of a cake frosting that doesn’t feel stark or cold.
From left to right Creamy, Origami White, Pure White, Greek Villa Creamy SW 7012Ĭreamy is exactly as it sounds a warm white that feels velvety and rich.
