Sherwin Williams

Utaupeia

SW 9088

Utaupeia is a medium-depth warm taupe with distinct orange-brown undertones that become more apparent under warm artificial lighting. At an LRV of 29, it sits in the lower-to-mid range of reflectance, producing a noticeably shaded appearance that adds weight to walls without going fully dark. The orange base distinguishes it from cooler taupes, making it more compatible with warm wood tones and terra cotta accents.

It is commonly applied in living rooms, bedrooms, and transitional-style interiors. Utaupeia coordinates well with Sherwin-Williams Accessible Beige and Shitake in tonal groupings, while Alabaster or Creamy provide effective lighter contrast on trim.
