First enter the color code to find the conversion and the best matching colors. After that, you can create palettes by clicking on and download color samples.
If you want to convert a screen color into a real wall or coating color, you can convert it from RGB to Sherwin-Williams (SW). The digital light colors red, green, and blue are used to calculate the closest matching shade from the extensive Sherwin-Williams palette. This allows digital designs to be translated accurately into physical applications – from wall paints to coatings or interior concepts.
Converting RGB to Sherwin-Williams is especially useful when you want to apply web or brand colors in real-world projects. qConv analyzes the RGB value, calculates the nearest perceptual Sherwin-Williams tone, and also shows visual alternatives and color deviations.
Since RGB colors are light-based and Sherwin-Williams colors are pigment-based, the conversion from RGB to SW may show slight differences in color depth and brightness. Nevertheless, it offers a precise approximation and is ideal for transferring digital color concepts into real environments.
How does the conversion work?
In the RGB to Sherwin-Williams conversion, the red, green, and blue values from the digital representation (e.g. rgb(120, 200, 180)) are transferred into the LAB color space. qConv then compares these values with the precise LAB profiles of the Sherwin-Williams palette to determine the SW tone with the smallest Delta-E distance – the smallest perceptible color deviation.
The result is the closest SW color code, such as SW 6469 Dewy or SW 7008 Alabaster. qConv also shows how big the color difference is between your RGB value and the identified SW tone. This lets you fine-tune colors before using them in a real environment.
This color conversion from RGB to Sherwin-Williams is especially valuable for agencies, designers, and architects who want to translate color concepts from digital media into physical spaces or materials – for example, in branding, interior design, or product development.
Example & application
Example: The RGB color rgb(240, 248, 255) – known as 'Alice Blue' – approximately corresponds to SW 7001 Marshmallow from the Sherwin-Williams collection. qConv displays this RGB to SW conversion directly and provides suitable alternatives with different gloss levels or Light Reflectance Values (LRV).
Converting RGB to Sherwin-Williams is ideal if you want to turn your digital designs into real color concepts. Whether it's for wall design, interior finishing, or product visualizations – qConv helps you connect the digital and physical worlds through color.
Our tip: Use the SW conversion to translate brand colors from web or corporate design to wall paints, coatings, or spatial concepts. qConv supports you with precise LAB values, color difference analysis, and immediate suggestions for related SW tones.
* Note:
qConv.com searches for the next matching color from the selected color palette. In most cases, there will be minimal or apparent color differences because there is not an exact match for every color.
The RGB color model (Red, Green, Blue) is the foundation of digital color representation — from monitors and smartphones to LED lighting. It is based on additive color mixing: when all three primary colors are combined at maximum intensity, white is produced; when no light is emitted, the result is black.
Each of the three color components can take a value between 0 and 255, resulting in a total of 16,777,216 possible RGB colors that the human eye can perceive on modern displays. RGB is therefore the standard format for digital media and the basis of many color conversions, such as to HEX or CMYK.
Usage
RGB is used in all digital applications — from web design, UI/UX design and app development to video, animation, and 3D graphics. It defines color representation on light-based devices and forms the foundation of every screen display.
Design tools like Adobe Photoshop, Figma, or Sketch rely on RGB color values to define precise web colors that can later be converted into HEX or HSL formats. RGB is also the reference for modern color profiles like sRGB, Adobe RGB, or Display P3, which represent different gamuts for various display types.
Tips for Designers & Agencies
To ensure consistent appearance across devices, designers should always work with standardized profiles such as sRGB. Colors may appear slightly different on mobile devices, laptops, and monitors due to varying light output.
With qConv, you can easily convert any RGB value into print-ready CMYK or Pantone® tones. It precisely bridges the gap between digital and print color spaces while offering related harmonies, contrasts, and shades for creative exploration.
The Sherwin-Williams® color system is one of the world’s most comprehensive professional paint collections, featuring more than 1,700 standardized colors used in architecture, interior design, and industrial coatings. Each color is precisely defined by a unique code, ensuring consistent application across different materials and projects.
Sherwin-Williams® paints are formulated for both aesthetic excellence and long-term durability. The brand offers digital color libraries that integrate seamlessly with professional design software, enabling accurate color visualization and matching across print, digital, and real-world surfaces.
Usage
Sherwin-Williams® colors are widely used in residential and commercial architecture, product manufacturing, and brand design. They play a key role in creating mood, atmosphere, and identity within spaces. The color library is available through physical swatches, color fan decks, and digital databases, making it accessible for both design professionals and homeowners.
The system also supports industrial coatings and protective paints, ensuring that the same color tone can be achieved across metals, plastics, and building materials.
Tips for Designers & Architects
When specifying Sherwin-Williams® colors, always verify the finish — matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss — as surface texture affects how the color is perceived. For digital projects, qConv allows you to convert any Sherwin-Williams® color into RGB, HEX, or CMYK formats for accurate visualization and brand consistency.
Use qConv to explore matching and complementary colors across Sherwin-Williams®, Pantone®, and RAL® systems to ensure seamless cross-media integration.
