Sherwin Williams

Felted Wool

SW 9171

Felted Wool from Sherwin-Williams is a cool muted neutral carrying both brown and gray undertones, which shift depending on lighting conditions. At an LRV of 28, it sits in the medium-dark range, making it suitable for accent walls, studies, or well-lit hallways where a grounded atmosphere is needed. The cool gray component keeps it from reading too warm in north-facing rooms.

It pairs naturally with Shoji White and Creamy for lighter trim contrast, while Naval provides a deep accent, and Dried Thyme adds an earthy green complement.
