Sherwin Williams

Honed Soapstone

SW 9126

Honed Soapstone is a muted warm neutral with yellow undertones, carrying an LRV of 31. It sits in the medium reflectance range and reads as a soft warm gray-brown, making it suitable for living rooms, hallways, and transitional spaces. The yellow undertone gives it a slightly sandy appearance rather than a cool stone effect, particularly under natural daylight.

It pairs naturally with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Urbane Bronze, Accessible Beige, and Pewter Green for grounded, warm neutral color schemes.
