On this page

Stucco is Sherwin-Williams SW 7569, a sandy tan that sits between greige and cream. Its hex is #DCCFBA and its RGB is 220, 207, 186, with a clear gap of 34 steps between red and blue.

Numbers first

The LRV is 63.277, in the light band. HSL gives hsl(37, 33%, 80%) and OKLCH gives oklch(85.9% 0.032 79.9). Chroma of 0.032 is higher than most neutrals on this site, so the warmth is easy to see. The computed undertone is warm and neutral, with yellow showing, from a hue of 80 degrees. Warm lighting will push it toward tan, and a cool white next to it will make it look even more golden.

Because it carries more color than a typical greige, Stucco reads as a decision rather than a background. It suits rooms where you want visible warmth, and it may feel heavy in a small space with one weak window.

Worked example

Picture a dining room with a west window, a dark wood table and a ceiling you want to keep soft. Stucco on the walls turns the late afternoon sun into a glow without drifting to orange. For the ceiling and trim, the brand lists Alabaster (SW 7008), which is lighter and keeps the room from feeling heavy. At LRV 63.277 the walls still bounce a decent amount of light, so you may not need extra lamps by day.

Brand-listed partners

Sherwin-Williams lists Alabaster (SW 7008), Cocoa Whip (SW 9084) and Little Blue Box (SW 9044) as coordinating colors. Alabaster has a page here. Cocoa Whip and Little Blue Box do not, so look them up on the brand site. The third name hints at a cooler accent, which could make Stucco a warm backdrop for it.

Alternatives and their gaps

Same brand: Wool Skein (SW 6148) is ΔE 1.5 away, so the pair is nearly indistinguishable on a wall. Natural Linen (SW 9109) at 2.1 and Accessible Beige (SW 7036) at 3.1 are related but visible.

Benjamin Moore Brandy Cream (1030) is 1.9, the closest cross-brand pick. Edgecomb Gray (HC-173) and Alaskan Skies (972) both come in at 3.6, and Behr Navajo White (22) at 3.8. Treat those as relatives and test them in the room.

On a screen

Using #DCCFBA as a background, black text reaches 13.67:1 and white text only 1.53:1. Dark type is the clear choice. Designers who want to build a palette around this tan can try the color palette generator as a starting point.
