Sherwin Williams Site White

7 years ago
Has anyone used Sherwin Williams Site White (7070) or Passive (7064)? I have painted samples in all rooms in our house and really like the site white because it is lighter...my husband thinks in some rooms he sees a pink/purple hue. Am curious if anyone has painted Site White and had any pink come through. He said he is OK with the color, he just doesn’t want to paint the whole thing and then feel like we have a pink house. We both like the Passive, I am just concerned on it being dark. Anyone have input on if it feels light or dark once you paint everything? (Maybe will look less dark when it’s not surrounded by white primer?) trim will be bright white, floors will be a medium natural wood. We have huge west facing windows and some east facing windows...not any north/south. This is a large open ranch so everything will mainly be one color. Thank you for any input!

    A white background will make a paint color look more muted/grayer and darker than it really is.

    Thanks Lori, that is encouraging! The paint chip looks practically white and it looked so dark on my wall!

    hi, did you end up going with site white? how'd it turn out

    Hi TS, sorry I just saw your comment...we had completely decided on Site White, and then held a cabinet door up to our samples and changed our mind to SW Passive, to Ted at 50%...I love how it turned out...very light grey, which if anything leans toward blue in certain lights but not too much, floors are not in yet but here are a few pics with the cabinets we have it in and someone washed brick

    We just had the majority of the house painted with the site white.  It looks blue. Not so sure I love the color. It does look very nice with the bright white trim and crown molding.

    Thanks for responding. The painters started painting the area with the site white yesterday it looked a faint blue gray to me but it was lighter than the sample i originally got so I was happy with it. I will post pictures when they finish. Jill do you have pictures you don’t mind sharing?

    I have an open floor plan with lots of light coming in from most directions. We have a pastel, beachy style with mother of pearl backsplash Site White is rich and gorgeous. It rolls on cream and dries gray-blue. The north facing kitchen and living room look periwinkle gray, as does the west facing dining room. The color is very deep, much more than expected from an LRV of 73. On the walls, Edgecomb Gray is beige, as is White Dove and both look pink and terrible in all rooms including the south facing bedrooms. The floors are yellow pine with Country White stain. We are going to lighten Site White to 25-50% and see how that looks. It is lighter in the south facing bedrooms, but still retains its creamy periwinkle depth. I love the color, but have been warned time and time, again, not to paint a house blue. BTW ceiling is painted 25% edgecomb gray which we decided against! Pink undertones are blah! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated - especially regarding trim color to pair with Site White! I would love to see photos of how your and Jill’s homes turned out!

    Because it’s outside full spectrum lighting.

    And most importantly….

    There’s nothing about how color is displayed on your device that’s accurate. Color online is at best a generalized representation of in real life color.

    Your house will be white try 4x8 foot samples on all sides next to doors and windows to see how it looks against roof. Benjamin Moore Cliffside Grey is a great choice for a light gray that has a touch if green to complement landscape. Site White looks great in a bathroom in an area with trees and is a perfect match to some marble. I painted it in a desert house, and and it looks terrible. i have to repaint
