Sherwin Williams

Taupe Tone

SW 7633

Taupe Tone is a mid-range neutral from Sherwin-Williams with warm brown undertones and a slight gray cast, reading as a true taupe at hex #ADA090. Its LRV of 36 places it on the lower side of medium reflectance, meaning it will darken a room slightly while still maintaining enough lightness to avoid feeling heavy. This color functions well as a main wall color in living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens where a warm neutral backdrop is needed.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige and Balanced Beige in tonal schemes, Softened Green as a natural accent, and Naval for deeper contrast.
