Sherwin Williams

Antler Velvet

SW 9111

Antler Velvet from Sherwin-Williams is a warm neutral with subtle yellow undertones, registering at hex #C0AD96. Its LRV of 43 provides moderate brightness, placing it solidly in the mid-tone range where it reads as a soft, warm taupe on most surfaces. The yellow undertone keeps it from appearing flat or ashy, lending quiet warmth to living rooms, bedrooms, or workspaces.

It layers naturally with fellow warm neutrals like Accessible Beige and Balanced Beige, while deeper options such as Urbane Bronze offer grounding contrast. Muted greens like Evergreen Fog or soft yellows like Inviting Ivory reinforce its warm character.
