Sherwin-Williams paint colors

Sherwin-Williams codes start with SW followed by four digits. Give the store that code and they will mix the exact color in any of their product lines.

Buying Sherwin-Williams color

Sherwin-Williams sells through its own stores, and some lines through Lowe's. The same SW code mixes the same color across their paint lines, but sheen changes how it reads: flat looks slightly darker and softer, semi-gloss slightly lighter and crisper.

Their color chips are small. Before you commit, try a large peel-and-stick sample on two walls and look at it across a full day.
