Today, I am sharing my most used paint color with lot of example photos from my home. Sherwin Williams Marshmallow is a bright, warm white.
SW 7001 has become my go-to white paint color anytime I want something bright, clean and simple. I even used this color on my first adventure with painted exterior brick.

Sherwin Williams Marshmallow – SW 7001
If you are searching for a white paint color that feels slightly warm without being beige, Marshmallow is a great choice. I wanted a color with warm undertones so it would not pull cool.
I also did not want something that appeared yellow. SW 7001 feels bright and light with slight warm undertones. I have used it throughout my entire home—twice! In this post, you will see how versatile it is for a variety of spaces.
SW 7001 Works Well For:
- Interior walls
- Ceilings
- Trim
- Exterior
- Rooms with natural light
- Rooms that connect
SW Marshmallow Feels:
- Slightly warm
- Bright and clean
- Crisp
- Fresh
Light Reflective Value:
The LRV for Marshmallow (SW 7001) is 82%, which is on the bright end of the off-white spectrum. Though it appears bright white when used in well lit spaces, Marshmallow is a light, warm “greige” white with a hint of beige.
The color appears different in this room with the painted ceiling reflection. I have found Marshmallow to pair well with any color I have used next to it.
Exterior Painted with SW 7001:
Here is the exterior of my previous home painted with SW Marshmallow. In our area, there are many homes with brick painted white, and I began to notice that many homes look too stark when they use untinted white.
It’s important to use a color with undertones that blend with nature for exterior paint.

Hello,
We are looking into painting our kitchen white and love the Marshmallow color. We did have one question in regards to trim. In the above interior pictures you have, did you also use that color for the trim or another color? And if another color, what did you use? We are struggling to find what would be best for our trim.
Thanks
Love! All of my trim and doors are marshmallow and I’m considering painting my cabinets the same
So pretty! What color is on the ceiling in the pink-ish bedroom shot?
I used Marshmallow in my house, too! It’s the best.
It really is the GOAT of all white paints. I’ve tried several other white swatches at SW and they can’t compare.
Our first floor is cool-toned and Marshmallow still compliments it the best.
Perfect timing! I’m in search of a nice white for my plant room. Thanks for sharing your experiences and talents.
