What color is Sherwin Williams Restoration Ivory?

Sherwin Williams Restoration Ivory SW 6413 is a light, creamy off-white with a noticeable yellow-beige cast rather than a stark white base. Its soft warmth can make north-facing rooms feel less chilly, while direct afternoon sun may bring out its buttery ivory character. Restoration Ivory suits living room and bedroom walls where a gentle, low-contrast backdrop is wanted without reading gray. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, and muted olive or clay accents to reinforce its earthy undertone. On cabinetry, this shade can provide a softer alternative to bright white, especially alongside warm stone or brass hardware.
