Sherwin Williams

Canvas Tan

SW 7531

Canvas Tan is a soft, warm off-white with beige undertones and low chroma, shown in hex #DCD1BF. Its LRV of 64 allows it to reflect a substantial amount of light while retaining enough warmth to avoid a stark appearance. The hue leans slightly toward yellow-red, producing a sun-warmed character that stays muted and controlled.

It layers effectively with Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige and Nomadic Desert for a tonal neutral palette. For contrast, deeper shades like Retreat or Charcoal Blue draw out its warm undertones, while Pure White or Greek Villa maintain a lighter frame.
