Sherwin Williams

Rice Grain

SW 6155

Rice Grain is a warm, yellow-based neutral from Sherwin-Williams with a beige foundation and creamy yellow undertones. Its Light Reflectance Value of 64 puts it in the mid-to-high brightness range, reflecting enough light to keep rooms open while still registering as a distinct color. The yellow warmth is subtle but present, particularly under natural daylight.

This shade suits living rooms, hallways, and transitional interiors. It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Kilim Beige and Wool Skein for warm tonal schemes, Clary Sage for green contrast, and Sea Salt for a cooler complementary balance.
