About Snowbound
Snowbound LRV and undertone
Sherwin-Williams Snowbound (SW 7004) has an LRV of 83, placing it in the light range. Light Reflectance Value measures how much visible light a color reflects, from 0 for absolute black to 100 for pure white. At 83, Snowbound reflects substantial light and can help walls maintain a bright appearance without reaching the highest end of the scale. Its color family is white, and its calculated undertone is subtly warm, with a yellow influence. That undertone can look different depending on nearby finishes and the type of illumination. Before painting an entire room, compare a sample with flooring, cabinetry, and trim to check the relationship between whites.
Snowbound in other brands
Behr Cameo White (MQ3-32) is the closest listed match, with an LRV of 81 and a ΔE of 0.7. Valspar Summer Gray (7006-17) has an LRV of 80.27 and a ΔE of 0.8. Both are near-identical matches according to the supplied ΔE 2000 values, which means their color differences should be very small. Valspar Du Jour (7002-6), with an LRV of 86.04 and a ΔE of 1.3, is very close but reflects more light. PPG Commercial White (PPG1025-1) has an LRV of 83 and a ΔE of 1.3, so its reflectance matches Snowbound’s while its measured color remains slightly different. These alternatives provide useful starting points, but compare painted samples in the intended space before selecting a substitute.
Lighter and darker Sherwin-Williams alternatives
Sherwin-Williams Pure White (SW 7005) has an LRV of 84, making it slightly lighter than Snowbound. Its ΔE of 1.3 indicates a very close match. Sherwin-Williams Extra White (SW 7006), at LRV 86 and ΔE 2.2, is lighter and close, although its difference becomes easier to see beside Snowbound. These options may suit rooms where greater light reflection is useful. For a slightly darker alternative, Sherwin-Williams Alabaster (SW 7008) has an LRV of 82 and a ΔE of 2.4. Sherwin-Williams Greek Villa (SW 7551), at LRV 84 and ΔE 2.3, is actually lighter by LRV, despite being another close comparison. Use a consistent sheen when comparing samples because different finishes can change how much light a painted surface appears to reflect.
