SW 6171

Chatura Gray (#A09287) is a mid-tone gray carrying warm, earthy undertones with a distinct taupe lean. Its LRV of 30 places it in the darker neutral range, lending noticeable depth while remaining approachable in rooms with moderate to ample natural light. The brown-gray base works across both modern and organic design schemes.

Pairing it with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster or Shoji White draws out the soft warmth, while muted greens like Pewter Green or deep anchoring tones such as Urbane Bronze and Iron Ore build a cohesive, layered palette.
