Sherwin Williams

Moth Wing

SW 9174

Moth Wing is a muted taupe with warm undertones that lean slightly toward brown rather than pink, giving it a neutral stability across varied lighting. At an LRV of 29, it provides moderate light absorption suited to living rooms, bedrooms, or transitional hallways. The warmth in its base keeps it from appearing flat or cold on north-facing walls.

It pairs well with Sherwin-Williams Shoji White, Urbane Bronze, Accessible Beige, Anew Gray, and Dover White for grounded, warm-neutral compositions.
