Sherwin Williams

Polished Concrete

SW 9167

Polished Concrete is a cool, neutral gray that carries slight warm undertones, placing it in the greige family while still reading predominantly gray. With an LRV of 32, it sits in the medium-depth range, absorbing a fair amount of light and working well in rooms with ample natural light or layered artificial lighting. This shade is commonly used in contemporary, industrial, or transitional interiors on feature walls, cabinetry, or full-room applications.

It coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Repose Gray for a lighter tonal pairing, Passive for a cooler companion, Naval for strong contrast, and Alabaster as a clean trim color.
