Urban Putty

SW 7532

Urban Putty (SW, hex #CFC0AB) is a warm beige with green-gray undertones that prevent it from skewing too yellow or too pink. It registers an LRV of 54, situating it in the mid-range of reflectance where it provides moderate brightness without excessive contrast. The green-gray cast adds depth and keeps the beige grounded across different lighting temperatures.

It coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Creamy, Dovetail, Urbane Bronze, and Ancient Marble for both tonal and contrasting schemes.
