Give this sample a clear job
Sample Sherwin-Williams First Star SW-7646 beside the fixed finishes, in the intended orientation and under normal room lighting. The trial should settle an almost-white gray beside white trim . First Star is deep enough to be a gray-white rather than one of the highest-reflectance whites.
Why the white doors and silver-gray tile relationship matters
White doors offer a stable comparison for deciding whether the gentle gray boundary is visible enough from the entrance.
First Star has an LRV of 69; Sherwin-Williams Eider White SW-7014 is 73. The difference is 4 points, with Eider White returning more light under the reference measurement.
Keep the comparison fair
Label the First Star board and hold it directly against each permanent white, with equal lighting and orientation. Include the intended trim finish in the last trial. The approved sample should resolve the actual white-to-white boundaries, rather than simply look pleasant on blank paper.
Approve the actual coating and the least favorable view
View the wall and doors from the room entrance; keep First Star if the gentle separation is sufficient. The undertones and neighboring colors covers that related choice.
Keep the approved dried board with the complete Sherwin-Williams SW-7646 product and finish specification. Follow the actual coating instructions for application, drying and preparation; the color name does not settle those requirements. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
