Sherwin-Williams Paint Samples
Sherwin-Williams greiges and whites shift more than almost any other line depending on light and trim. Agreeable Gray can look warm in one room and cool in another, so a stick-on swatch you can move around the house is the safest way to choose.
Real Sherwin-Williams peel-and-stick swatches are sold by Samplize for about $5.95 each — genuine SW paint, no trip to the store.

These are the Sherwin-Williams shades people test most. Order a couple together and compare them on the wall.
How to Test a Sherwin-Williams Color
- Order your top two or three colors as peel-and-stick swatches or small sample pots.
- Put them on more than one wall — color shifts between a wall facing the sun and one in shade.
- Look at them in the morning and again at night under your lamps before deciding.
- Hold the winner next to your trim, floor, and big furniture, not just the bare wall.
- Once you choose, any paint store can mix that exact Sherwin-Williams color in the finish and size you need.
