Sherwin Williams

Ecru

SW 6135

Ecru is a muted yellow-beige with warm golden and earthy undertones, registering an LRV of 51. It functions well as a mid-tone neutral in living rooms, dining areas, and hallways where a grounded warmth is needed without excessive saturation. This color coordinates naturally with Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige, Wool Skein, Latte, and Restrained Gold, all of which share its warm base.

It reads distinctly yellow in strong natural light and more khaki under artificial lighting.
