Sherwin Williams

Quinoa

SW 9102

Quinoa is a warm, muted orange-beige with beige undertones that temper the orange and prevent it from reading too saturated. At an LRV of 49, it reflects a moderate amount of light, functioning as a visible wall color without dominating a space. The warm base makes it suitable for living rooms, dining rooms, and hallways where an earthy, warm-toned color is desired.

It leans more toward tan-orange than peach, distinguishing it from pinker warm neutrals. Sherwin-Williams Alabaster and Shiitake coordinate as lighter and tonal companions, Naval provides strong cool contrast, and Java adds a deeper brown accent.

Quinoa in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
