Sherwin Williams

Doeskin

SW 6044

Doeskin (SW 6044) is a warm taupe with red undertones and a slightly rosy cast that distinguishes it from cooler gray-beige neutrals. With an LRV of 47, it sits in the mid-range, providing enough color presence for living rooms, bedrooms, or large open areas without darkening the space significantly. Under cool lighting, the pink influence becomes more noticeable.

It coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster (SW 7008) and Greek Villa (SW 7551) as lighter companions. Pairing with Trusty Tan (SW 6087), Pinky Beige (SW 0079), or Chelsea Mauve (SW 0002) maintains a cohesive warm scheme.
