Snowbound
Sherwin-Williams
SW 7004
Snowbound is a white with a noticeable gray undertone that keeps it muted and modern rather than bright. In certain light it can flash a subtle pink or taupe cast, so it benefits from sampling next to the finishes it will live with. It works well on walls and cabinetry in cooler, contemporary palettes where Alabaster would read too creamy.

What is the Benjamin Moore equivalent of Snowbound?
The closest Benjamin Moore match for Snowbound is Sand Dollar OC-71 (#F0EBE4). No cross-brand match is exact, because each brand mixes its own pigment formulas. Always confirm with a physical sample before specifying a substitute.
Is Snowbound warm or cool?
Snowbound is a cool-leaning white. Its gray undertone mutes the brightness, and in some rooms a faint pink or taupe cast can surface, particularly under warm artificial light. The LRV of approximately 82 keeps it luminous despite the gray. It suits north-facing rooms where a warmer white might look dingy, and it pairs more naturally with cool grays and blues than with beige-heavy palettes.
Why does Snowbound look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #EDEAE5 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Snowbound have?
Snowbound has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 82, meaning it reflects about 82% of visible light. That places it among lighter colors that keep rooms feeling open and bright.
