Taupe of the Morning

SW 9590

Taupe of the Morning (SW, hex #DAD2C6) is a light neutral with warm beige and subtle gray undertones and an LRV of 65, providing moderate-to-high light reflectance. The gray element tempers the warmth, keeping the color from reading as overtly beige. It coordinates within the Sherwin-Williams palette alongside Accessible Beige, Shoji White, Tricorn Black, Anchors Aweigh, and Sea Salt.

Accessible Beige and Shoji White support a warm neutral layering approach, while Tricorn Black and Anchors Aweigh supply strong dark contrast. Sea Salt introduces a cool accent for complementary balance.
