Sherwin Williams

Armadillo

SW 9160

Armadillo by Sherwin-Williams is a deep, muted purple-gray with noticeable gray undertones, sitting at hex #9E9089 with an LRV of 29. This medium-dark shade provides a grounded, subdued presence that reads as a warm neutral in most lighting conditions. Its gray-purple balance allows it to function in both modern and traditional palettes without pulling too strongly in either direction.

Armadillo coordinates effectively with Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige, Eider White, and Evergreen Fog, and contrasts cleanly with darker shades like Naval or Open Air to anchor a room's palette.
