Sherwin Williams

Nuance

SW 7049

Nuance is a soft warm off-white with taupe undertones and an LRV of 74, making it a high-reflectance neutral suitable for whole-house application, ceilings, and trim work. The taupe cast distinguishes it from stark whites, lending a slightly warm, grayed quality that prevents it from appearing clinical. It works across living rooms, kitchens, and corridors without shifting dramatically under varied lighting.

Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige, Urbane Bronze, Poised Taupe, Shoji White, and Agreeable Gray all coordinate cleanly, supporting warm neutral schemes with consistent depth.
