# Sherwin Williams Habitat

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/habitat-sw-9608](https://plan-home.com/color/habitat-sw-9608)

Sherwin Williams Habitat SW 9608 is a muted mid-tone taupe with a weathered brown base and a subtle gray-olive cast. Its low saturation keeps it grounded rather than overly earthy, making it a useful alternative to standard warm gray. In warm artificial light, Habitat can lean more brown and softly khaki; cooler daylight brings out its grayer, slightly olive side. It suits living room walls, entryways, and cabinetry where a calm, substantial neutral is needed. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, and textured linen for a layered, material-driven look.
