Sherwin Williams

Tiki Hut

SW 7509

Tiki Hut is a warm, mid-depth neutral from Sherwin-Williams that blends brown and gray with a slight olive undertone detectable under certain lighting. Its LRV of 17 places it in the darker neutral range, absorbing a significant share of ambient light and reading as a dense, grounded tone. This positions it well for accent walls, lower cabinetry, or rooms where a heavier neutral anchor is desired, such as dens and dining rooms.

It pairs naturally with Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige and Nomadic Desert for a layered warm neutral scheme, while Tradewind introduces a cool contrast. Tricorn Black can be used for definition in trim or hardware.
