# Sherwin Williams Shiitake

Sherwin Williams Shiitake SW 9173 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable gray cast and gentle warmth. Its low-saturation finish keeps it from reading overly tan, giving walls a soft greige appearance instead. In cooler daylight, Shiitake can look more pebble-like and restrained, while warm artificial light brings out its subtle beige undertone. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a pale neutral is needed without the crispness of white. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered wood, linen upholstery, charcoal accents, or brushed black metal for contrast.
