Sherwin Williams

Camelback

SW 6122

Camelback is a warm, neutral beige with noticeable yellow undertones, rendered in hex #C5AA85. With an LRV of 42, it sits in a mid-range brightness that avoids both starkness and heaviness, making it functional in rooms with varying light conditions. The yellow-leaning warmth gives it a sandy, grounded quality without appearing overtly golden.

It coordinates naturally with Sherwin-Williams Wool Skein and Nomadic Desert for a tonal neutral scheme. Deeper accents like Bunglehouse Blue or Rookwood Red sharpen contrast, while Harmonic Tan provides a softer analogous transition.
