Origami White Sherwin-Williams · SW 7636 LRV 75
Origami White review: Sherwin-Williams SW 7636
warm greige-white.
Sits between Alabaster and a true greige; a trim option for warm-toned homes that want something slightly less yellow.
Origami White in real light
Same sample board, four compass directions: this is the standardized shot list every color on this site gets, so you can compare across colors and not just across one photographer's living room. Photos for this color are still being shot; the notes below are what to expect from the color's undertone.
North light North light is cool and indirect all day, so it mutes Origami White's warmth and can make it read flatter and slightly gray.
East light Morning east light is warm and golden, so Origami White looks brightest and warmest early in the day, then cools and flattens by afternoon as the light moves west.
South light South-facing rooms get the most direct sun all day, which pushes Origami White's warmth further, sometimes past what the chip suggests.
West light Afternoon west light is warm and can run intense right at sunset, then goes flat and cool in the morning before the sun reaches that side of the house.
What to pair Origami White with
- Warm wood trim rather than a stark white, to match its greige lean
- Terracotta or warm neutral accents
