Sherwin Williams

Foothills

SW 7514

Foothills is a deep greige anchored by a soft brown base with a gray overcast that keeps it from reading too warm. With an LRV of 18, it absorbs a fair amount of light and works well in studies, dens, or accent walls where a grounded neutral is needed. The brown undertone becomes more apparent under warm lighting, while the gray holds steady in cooler north-facing rooms.

It coordinates well with Alabaster for trim contrast, North Star on adjacent walls, and Iron Ore for a tonal darker accent.
