Skyline Steel

SW 1015

Skyline Steel (SW, hex #C6BFB3) is a warm stone gray with subtle beige undertones that prevent it from reading as a stark or purely cool neutral. Its LRV of 52 positions it at the midpoint of the reflectance scale, giving it moderate brightness that adapts across varied room sizes and lighting conditions. Under warm light, the beige component becomes more apparent; under cool light, the gray base dominates.

Pair it with Sherwin-Williams Shell White, Pure White, Naval, Accessible Beige, and Agreeable Gray.
