Give this sample a clear job
Sample Sherwin-Williams Eider White SW-7014 beside the fixed finishes, in the intended orientation and under normal room lighting. The trial should settle gray-white walls beside manufactured whites . Eider White's cool gray description makes it a colored white choice rather than a guaranteed factory-white match.
Why the white cabinetry and gray porcelain relationship matters
A cabinet door and porcelain tile are repeatable physical references; agreement with their exact finishes matters more than the word white.
Eider White has an LRV of 73; Sherwin-Williams First Star SW-7646 is 69. The difference is 4 points, with Eider White returning more light under the reference measurement.
Keep the comparison fair
Label the Eider White board and hold it directly against each permanent white, with equal lighting and orientation. Include the intended trim finish in the last trial. The approved sample should resolve the actual white-to-white boundaries, rather than simply look pleasant on blank paper.
Approve the actual coating and the least favorable view
Check the factory cabinet finish before choosing this as a white-on-white scheme. The undertones and neighboring colors covers that related choice.
Keep the approved dried board with the complete Sherwin-Williams SW-7014 product and finish specification. Follow the actual coating instructions for application, drying and preparation; the color name does not settle those requirements. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
