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.
