Sherwin Williams

Pavestone

SW 7642

Pavestone (SW, hex #A0998F) is a medium-depth gray with taupe undertones that give it a warmer lean than a pure cool gray. It carries an LRV of 32, meaning it absorbs more light than it reflects and reads as a solid mid-tone in most lighting environments. The taupe component prevents it from appearing sterile, lending dimensional warmth without shifting into overtly beige territory.

Suitable pairings within the Sherwin-Williams line include Repose Gray, Eider White, Naval, Tricorn Black, and Debonair.
