Sherwin Williams

Mink

SW 6004

Mink is a cool mid-tone neutral with brown and gray undertones and an LRV of 21, placing it on the darker side of the mid-range. The blend of brown and gray keeps it from reading as either a pure taupe or a true gray, settling instead into a grounded, earthy neutral. It works on accent walls, exterior trim, and cabinetry.

It pairs naturally with Accessible Beige (SW 7036), Alabaster (SW 7008), Urbane Bronze (SW 7048), Shoji White (SW 7042), and Balanced Beige (SW 7037) in warm neutral schemes.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
