Sherwin Williams

Pavilion Beige

SW 7512

Pavilion Beige is a mid-range warm neutral from Sherwin-Williams with taupe and sandy undertones, as seen in its hex value (#C5B6A4) where the red and green channels dominate over blue. At an LRV of 48, it sits near the midpoint of the light-dark scale, absorbing and reflecting light roughly equally. It suits living room walls, hallways, or exterior body color.

Within the Sherwin-Williams palette, Wool Skein and Kilim Beige offer lighter and darker warm-neutral companions, Retreat provides a contrasting olive-green accent, and Naval works as a deep complementary tone for trim or doors.
