Sherwin Williams

Versatile Gray

SW 6072

Versatile Gray is a warm mid-tone gray from Sherwin-Williams with taupe undertones from red and yellow pigment influence. Its LRV of 48 places it at the center of the reflectance scale, neither noticeably light nor dark. The hex #C1B6AB confirms a warm greige leaning brown-gray rather than blue-gray, holding warmth in natural and artificial light.

This color is practical in living rooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a neutral wall tone is needed. It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster for trim, Shoji White for ceilings, Urbane Bronze as an accent, Accessible Beige as a companion, and Tony Taupe for warmth.
