# Sherwin Williams Acier

Sherwin Williams Acier SW 9170 is a muted mid-tone gray with a noticeable beige cast, giving it a softly warmed, weathered appearance. Its low saturation keeps the color from reading overly brown or starkly cool, making it especially useful where a plain gray would feel severe. In bright natural light, Acier can look like a pale warm stone; in dimmer rooms, its gray side becomes more apparent. It suits living room walls, bedrooms, and hallways, and can also bring a grounded look to painted cabinetry. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, oak, linen, and matte black details for a layered, material-focused interior.
