Sherwin Williams

Ramie

SW 6156

Ramie is a mid-tone warm neutral from Sherwin-Williams with noticeable yellow undertones that give it an earthy, wheat-like character. At an LRV of 52, it sits near the middle of the light-reflectance scale, reading as a grounded warm beige without feeling dark. This color works well on main walls in living rooms or bedrooms, particularly alongside Sherwin-Williams Alabaster on trim, White Duck for adjacent surfaces, or Urbane Bronze for contrasting accents.

Complementary tones such as Svelte Sage or Accessible Beige round out a cohesive neutral scheme.
