Alabaster

More about Alabaster

Alabaster (SW 7008) is hex #EDEAE0 with an estimated LRV of 82.2, and it sits in our white family. Dutch Boy Swan White (024W) shares its exact hex. Benjamin Moore Glacier White (OC-37), Behr Arcade White (GR-W08) and PPG Winter Mood (14-16) are nearly identical digital matches, and so is Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee (OC-45). Inside Sherwin-Williams, Greek Villa (SW 7551) is nearly identical and slightly lighter at LRV 84.0. Benjamin Moore White Dove (OC-17) is often called its equivalent, and on Benjamin Moore's published values it rates nearly identical: White Dove is slightly lighter (LRV 83.2) and a touch less yellow (LAB b* 4.5 against 5.2). Our guides use Alabaster as the trim white for Agreeable Gray (LRV 60.1) and Accessible Beige (LRV 57.9). These are digital matches, so compare physical samples before substituting.

Alabaster is the warm white that quietly took over from the cooler grays. At LRV 82 it's soft and creamy without reading yellow, which is the hard balance most warm whites miss. It works three ways at once — walls, trim, and cabinets — which is why whole-house painters reach for it: using one white everywhere removes the trim-vs-wall guessing game.

Because it's warm, Alabaster can look slightly creamy next to a stark, cool white (don't put it beside bright-white ceilings or it'll look dirty by contrast). In north light it reads its softest; in warm light it glows. If your walls are a greige like Agreeable Gray, Alabaster is the trim white that pairs with it most naturally. Benjamin Moore Dune White is its nearly identical cross-brand match.
