Sherwin Williams

Alpaca

SW 7022

Alpaca (SW, #CCC5BD) is a neutral greige that leans slightly warm, with subtle violet and taupe undertones that shift depending on surrounding light. Its LRV of 57 positions it in the mid-brightness range, making it functional both as a wall color and as a contrast tone against lighter trim. The violet-gray base becomes more apparent next to pure whites and warmer beiges.

Shoji White and Creamy work well as lighter companions, while cooler accents like Online or Blustery Sky draw out its gray undertone. Deeper taupes such as Poised Taupe provide grounded, tonal depth.
