Malabar

SW 9110

Malabar (SW 6115) is a warm muted beige with subtle yellow undertones, registering an LRV of 53 that places it in the mid-range for light reflectance. This tone works well in living rooms, hallways, and transitional spaces where moderate warmth is needed without strong saturation. It coordinates naturally with Antique White (SW 6119) on trim, Accessible Beige (SW 7036) on adjacent walls, and deeper accents like Brainstorm Bronze (SW 7033).

For cabinetry or built-ins, pairing with Urbane Bronze (SW 7048) or Latte (SW 6108) produces a grounded, cohesive palette.
