Sherwin Williams

Cocoon

SW 6173

Cocoon (SW, #726B5B) is an earthy, yellow-based neutral with olive and khaki undertones that give it a distinctly organic appearance. Its LRV of 15 means it absorbs most light, resulting in a deep, subdued tone suited to smaller or intentionally dim spaces. The greenish-gray influence within the yellow base sets it apart from standard warm beiges, introducing a slight coolness.

Shoji White and Wool Skein offer lighter warm contrast, while deeper pairings with charcoal tones bring contemporary definition. Sage greens and muted terracottas extend its earth-driven palette.
