Sherwin Williams

Smoky Beige

SW 9087

Smoky Beige is a warm beige from Sherwin-Williams with soft orange and pink undertones that keep it from reading as flat or overly yellow. At an LRV of 40, it sits in the moderate range, reflecting enough light for both well-lit and dimmer rooms. The warmth in this color makes it functional on walls in living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways, particularly in spaces with cool or northern light.

It pairs effectively with Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige, Softer Tan, and Kilim Beige, and contrasts well with Urbane Bronze or Retreat.
