    Recently painted our home in Crushed Ice by Sherwin Williams. We want to re-paint the trim in white. The Crushed Ice is such a light grey that we would like a white that will offer a contrast to the light gray. I was super overwhelmed by all the different options for whites at the Sherwin Williams store.. My ceiling paint from SW just came in plain old “white” why can’t the trim paint just come in “white?”

    My question is what color of white trim paint would you recommend with the SW Crushed Ice??

      Hi David,

      The whitest “true white” that SW offers is called Extra White and it is available in trim paint. That would give the best contrast against the Crushed Ice. Best of luck to you on your design projects and thank you for reaching out!

      I’ve been painting for more than 10 years, for friends, neighbors and real estate agents. I recommend High Hide White. I have it my own house and love it.

    Hi Laura! I am wondering what the difference between SW Crushed Ice and SW On the Rocks is. They are so similar… Crushed Ice has a slightly higher LRV (at 66) than On the Rocks (at 62). When I look at them I am trying so hard to find the difference! I was going to go with Eider White until I saw it in a friends home, and I definitely saw shades of pink in it. Hoping to avoid this pink in one of these two colors.

    Hey Laura!

    I have our cabinets and trim painted Alabaster…we had our house painted with Crushed Ice and everytime I look at it it looks blue 🙁 Any tips on how to avoid getting the blue feel? We paid for it to get done and I am struggling to LOVE the color. I also painted a few closet doors Tricorn and those also pull more of a blue to me.

      Hi Cheyenne,

      The same thing has happened to me … the struggle is real. We have paid for it to get done & it is in our living room & breakfast area (open floor plan). It’s lovely in the morning when the light hits it, but later in the day it becomes more blue and almost purple. Did you hear back from Laura? Any suggestions or advice?I am hoping that when our floors and furniture go in, the color will tone down a bit.

      Thanks,
      Ashley

        Glad it’s not just me that sees it! I have not heard from Laura yet but would love to hear her thoughts!
