Sherwin Williams

Abalone Shell

SW 6050

Abalone Shell (hex #DBC7BD) is a muted, warm pinkish-beige with soft red undertones and a slightly dusky character. At an LRV of 60, it reflects a moderate amount of light, providing warmth without excessive brightness. The hue leans red but is tempered by taupe influences, resulting in a grounded, contemporary tone.

It pairs naturally with warm taupes and earthy blush tones, and Sherwin-Williams Alabaster offers a creamy white contrast that maintains cohesion. Deeper accents like Urbane Bronze or Poised Taupe can anchor a room, while Redend Point extends the warm mauve family in an analogous scheme.
