Sherwin Williams

Teal Stencil

SW 0018

Yorkshire Tan (hex #C0B08C) is a khaki-toned neutral with brown and yellow undertones that give it an earthy, grounded appearance. At an LRV of 43.93, it falls into the mid-range, reflecting enough light to avoid heaviness while retaining substantial color body. The warm brown lean prevents it from reading green the way some khakis can.

It coordinates cleanly with Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Edgecomb Gray for a layered neutral scheme, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal deliver sharper contrast. Saybrook Sage introduces a soft green complement that draws out the color's earthy quality.

Teal Stencil in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
