On this page

Medici Ivory is Sherwin-Williams SW 7558. Its hex value is #F3E9D7 and its RGB is 243, 233, 215. A 28-step gap between red and blue makes it one of the creamier whites you will see in this set, with more warmth than a typical off-white.

Numbers behind the cream

The file gives HSL as hsl(39, 54%, 90%) and OKLCH as oklch(93.7% 0.026 82.4). Saturation of 54% in HSL sounds large, but that is only because the color is so light; chroma in OKLCH is a modest 0.026. The hue of about 82 degrees gives a warm neutral whose undertone reads as yellow. The LRV is 82.023, which falls in the very light band, so it works as a wall color and could also stand in for a ceiling when a bright white would look cold.

What the brand pairs with it

Sherwin-Williams lists Dover White (SW 6385), Playa Arenosa (SW 9094) and Coral Clay (SW 9005) as coordinating colors. Dover White is #F0EADC and has its own page. The other two have none here, so only names and codes appear. Going by the names, Playa Arenosa sounds like a sandy tone and Coral Clay like a warmer accent, which is a guess to check against actual chips.

Worked example

Imagine a bedroom with a single east window, a pale oak bed frame and cotton bedding. Morning sun enters strongly and the warm walls turn almost golden around eight o'clock, then settle to a soft cream by afternoon. With Medici Ivory at LRV 82.023, there is little need for extra lamps in daytime. Use Dover White on the trim for a subtle step instead of a hard line, and keep Coral Clay for something small like a headboard cushion. To judge the cream, tape a large sheet of the color near the window and watch it over one full day.

Nearby colors and how far they are

Within the brand, Summer White (SW 7557) is ΔE 0.5, effectively identical on a wall. Creamy (SW 7012) and Dover White are both 2.1, related but visible.

Outside the brand, Benjamin Moore Cream Froth (OC-97) is 2.5, Behr Swiss Coffee (12) is 3.2, Behr Blank Canvas (DC-003) is 3.3 and Behr Navajo White (22) is 3.7. All four read as noticeably different, so treat them as alternatives, not equivalents.
