Sherwin Williams exterior white help for contrast
6 years ago
My husband and I are building and love our house rendering. We like the look of a black/white contrast and have picked out Pro-Fit Alpine Ledgestone in Dark Ridge. We are stuck on exterior colors. We want a good contrast without the “white” looking too yellow. Any suggestions?? SW Pure White?? SW Snowbound?? Help please!! Pictures would be plus!!
Thank you!!

PRO6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoHere is color wheel from Camps Chroma ( or from Lori Sawaya, The land of color?) shows us range of whites. You can see different hues for white colors.
Snowbound has yellow hue, and Pure White is on yellow-green side. Pure white is "crispier".
